A local company knowingly involved itself with illegal hiring practices by devising a plan to allow the continued employment of a self-admitted illegal alien. Management failed to properly prepare, complete, update and report the employment documents for this employee. They instead aided and assisted an illegal immigrant in securing employment by ‘looking the other way’ and allowing his re-hire under a new name. The company management team knowingly and with actual knowledge re-hired an employee who admitted to being an illegal alien. How this employee obtained legal documents in less than a one month period is questionable as the process for obtaining citizenship is a long one. The plan was devised in order to cover up the false identity/illegal alien documentation of an employee and allow for his rehire under a new and supposed legal identity. The fraud left an electronic trail. Realizing that the company was running a social security number check, the employee immediately requested time off to attend to personal business in Mexico. The time off was requested just prior to the project wide social security check. An audit of his records will reflect the requested time off. It will coincide with the site-wide social security number check or lie somewhere within a one to two week time frame. Meanwhile, all other employees who had false social security numbers were immediately terminated. On the same day that this employee returned from Mexico to the site he was made to appear to have quit the company. The employee was re-hired that same day using his new identity. The employee worked one week under the new identity. However, on payday, the employee was issued a check with the new name but with the information/hours of the old name on the check stub. The check was immediately returned and a new check was issued under the new name. How illegal is this and how should it be reported by an employee while keeping the reporting employee name confidential?
