New US Penalties for Employers Expected
Filed in archive Americas by Matthew Schulz on August 08, 2007

In the current regulations, constructive knowledge is defined to include situations where the employer fails to properly complete the Form I-9 that US employers are required to complete for all employees, has information that would indicate that the employee is not eligible for employment, or otherwise acts with reckless and wanton disregard for legal consequences of such employment.
Although the new regulation is not yet published, it is already being reported that the new rule will consider employers to have knowledge in situations where the US Social Security Administration reports that the social security number used by the employee is false. Employers would have to terminate employees who fail to correct their social security number or face penalties.
