Answer the following questions by Wednesday. Each question should be a separate post. Include the original question with your response.
1. Under IRCA verification procedures, may an employer insist that a prospective employee with a foreign accent produce either a certificate of naturalization or an Alien Registration Card?
2. In your opinion, should OSHA consider the cost of compliance? Assuming employee injuries and fatalities can be tied to the lack of regulation because of the cost, would you require the safety measures be taken regardless of cost?
3. Explain the e-verify program. What is it and why is it useful?
Under IRCA verification procedures, may an employer insist that a prospective employee with a foreign accent produce either a certificate of naturalization or an Alien Registration Card?
No, an employer may not insist a prospective employee provide proof of naturalization or an Alien Registration Card. Section 102 of the IRCA was enacted as an enforcement mechanism to discourage employers from discriminating against “foreign-looking” or “foreign-sounding” prospective employees (Twomey, 2013). However, the prospective employee must complete the Form I-9 attesting he or she is legally employable (Twomey, 2013). Additionally, employers may verify employment eligibility using E-Verify (Ivancevich and Konopaske, 2013).
