Employer Sanctions under Immigration Law
Employer sanctions under immigration law refer to penalties imposed on employers who knowingly hire or continue to employ individuals who are not authorized to work in the country. These sanctions aim to discourage the hiring of undocumented workers. Violations can lead to fines and legal repercussions for employers. Employers are required to verify the work eligibility of their employees through documents like Form I-9 in the United States. Failure to comply can result in serious consequences, promoting accountability in the hiring process to support lawful employment practices.
