The United States Justice Department announced in Washington DC today (August 15) that it has reached a settlement with Mira Mesa's TEG Staffing, also known as Eastridge Workforce Solutions, to resolve allegations that Eastridge discriminated against work-authorized, non-United States citizens in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Between March 2014 and September 2015, Eastridge requested specific immigration documents from non-U.S. citizens. But U.S. citizens had latitude to present whichever documents they chose to prove their work authorization. It is against the law for an employer to limit employees' choice of documentation because of their citizenship or immigration status.
Eastridge will pay $175,000 in penalties and will be monitored by the U.S. government.
