According to a lawsuit filed by two former employees, Sanderson Farms allegedly hired illegal immigrants in order to keep labor costs down.  By knowingly hiring illegal aliens, the poultry company supposedly was able to pay less per hour than if they hired legal permanent residents and U.S. citizens.

In the United States, it is against the law for an employer to hire an individual who is not certified to work in this country.  More specifically, an employer cannot knowingly hire, recruit or recommend an individual who is unauthorized to work in the country.  Once it is discovered that one of their worker’s is unauthorized, it is illegal for an employer to keep an alien on staff.  Additionally, an employer must adhere to recordkeeping requirements according to U.S. legislation.

The attorneys at The Eichholz Law Firm are investigating whether the hiring of illegal immigrants has had an effect on the employment and wages of permanent residents and U.S. citizens.  For more information on the legal rights which may be available to employees and former employees of Georgia poultry companies or to schedule a free consultation with a wage and hour attorney, visit the Savannah law firm’s website at www.TheJusticeLawyer.com and complete their free case evaluation form.
