San Francisco Employer Fined by US Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel for Discrimination and Unfair I-9 Documentary Practices

Employer fined for improperly rejecting US-government acceptable documentation US employment eligibility and requiring non-U.S. citizens to produce specific documents to prove US employment eligibility.  US law requires employees to produce and employers to maintain I-9 records showing that the employer reviewed documentation of identity and US employment eligibility.  Form I-9 provides a list of acceptable documents.  Employees have the right to submit any of the acceptable documents and this case shows the government enforces the anti-discrimination rules.
