San Diego staffing company Eastridge Workforce Solutions recently resolved allegations with the Department of Justice after new hires faced discriminatory practices while completing work authorization verification requirements, such as E-verify cases and filling out the Form I-9, creating a breach of Immigration and Nationality Act provisions that protect new hires who are not U.S. citizens. The Mira Mesa, Calif., location was required to pay $175,000 in civil penalties. It is important for companies to have compliant hiring procedures in place that are consistent with each new hire.
