Abercrombie & Fitch Pays $1 Million for I-9 Violations

Teaser: 

Abercrombie agreed to pay $1,047,110 for I-9 paperwork and systems violations and the historic fine was not the result of ICE finding even one unauthorized worker.
 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reached the largest I-9 fine settlement in US history with clothier Abercrombie & Fitch on September 28, 2010.  The total settlement was $1,047,110 and resulted from paperwork and systems violations in the I-9 process and was not the result of ICE finding a single knowing hire of an alien unauthorized to work in the United States.

"This settlement should serve as a warning to other companies that may not yet take the employment verification process seriously," Moskowitz said.
