Stiffer Penalties for US Employers Found Hiring Illegal Workers

The U.S. has begun to crack-down on employers who hire illegal workers by imposing stricter penalties to those companies that are caught. Two owners of a Bellingham company was ordered to pay a $100,000 fine after the owners pled guilty to hiring illegal workers. Both owners were also sentenced to one year probation.

Now more than ever it is important to ensure that each foreign employee hired has the proper government issued authorization to work.
