In Reply to: Employment and visa status... posted by Alex on March 13, 2002 at 18:00:40:
: Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
: I am an employer. I suspect that some of the employees I hires 4 mos. ago are out of status now. The reason for that is I am not sure if they applied for extension of their visas.
: I would like to know what the penalty is for having on the payroll an illegal immigrant. Do I have to ask prospective employees to show a Green Card or current visas at the time of hiring? The way I did was I just asked them to fill out application forms (they filled SS# graphs).
: Thank you!
: Alex
Alex --
I'm curious. Do you get information about your tax obligations from message boards like this one?
The best way to get into trouble with the Department of Labor and with the INS is to depend on advice from non-professionals. Get yourself a lawyer who specializes in business immigration law.
