Question:
You gladly hire Lily Chou because she
told you how she beaded sweaters in Taiwan.
You are surprised when she hands you a
California driver's license and an
unrestricted Social Security card for the
I-9 form. (Note: Some Social Security cards
are restricted and bear the inscription
"Valid Only with INS
Authorization" or "Not Valid for
Employment.") "Miss Chou,"
you say, "I must see a card from the
INS." Does Lily Chou have a case
against you?
Answer:
Yes.
Lily Chou has a very strong case against
you. You should have let her choose which
valid documents to present as proof of her
identity and work authorization. A
California driver's license proves identity
and a unrestricted Social Security card
proves work authorization. Your insistence
on seeing an INS card is called document
abuse, and this is a discriminatory
practice.
