US Settles With Domino's Pizza Franchise Owner Amid Immigration-Related Discrimination
(MENAFN- AzerNews) The US Justice Department announced Thursday it settled with
Domino's Pizza franchise owner and operator Treacy Enterprises Inc.
to resolve immigration-related discrimination claims, Azernews
reports, citing Anadolu Agency.
The department said the settlement resolves its determination
that Treacy Enterprises violated the Immigration and Nationality
Act (INA) by requiring a non-US citizen worker to provide more
documents than necessary to prove his permission to work, even
though he had already shown sufficient documentation.
The department stated its investigation began when a lawful
permanent resident worker complained that Treacy Enterprises
required him to provide additional and unnecessary documentation to
prove his permission to work, instead of accepting the valid
documentation he had already presented.
"While employers must verify every new hire's permission to work
in the United States, they can't require unnecessary documents or
discriminate based on someone's citizenship status or national
origin in the process," Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke
of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said in a
statement.
The US federal law allows workers to choose which valid and
legally acceptable documentation to present to demonstrate their
identity and permission to work, regardless of citizenship,
immigration status or national origin, while employers cannot
demand more documents than necessary, the statement noted.
