SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Unfair employment practices; discharging employees when unauthorized aliens are employed.  States that it is an unfair employment practice for an employer to discharge any United States citizen or legally authorized worker if the employer, on the date of the discharge, employed an unauthorized alien within the Commonwealth. Employers that are enrolled and participate in the federal Basic Pilot Program, or are exempt from compliance with federal employment verification procedures under federal law, are not subject to this measure. Someone discharged in violation of this unfair employment practice is entitled to recover treble damages, including lost wages from the date of the discharge until the date the employee has procured new employment, or 120 days, whichever occurs earlier, and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. This bill has been incorporated into HB 2687.
