Worksite enforcement

Worksite enforcement refers to actions taken by government agencies, primarily immigration authorities, to ensure that employers comply with laws regarding the employment of workers, particularly undocumented immigrants. This can involve inspections and investigations at workplaces to verify employees' legal status and employers' hiring practices. The goal is to prevent the illegal employment of workers who do not have the right to work in the country, ensuring fair labor practices and compliance with labor laws. Such enforcement actions can lead to fines for employers and potential legal consequences for unauthorized workers.
