Healthy Harvest Company runs a candy and fruit processing and packaging plant. Most of Healthy Harvest's business is done during holiday seasons, especially between Halloween and New Year's Day, and in the spring. The company hires a large temporary

workforce during its busiest times. Can Healthy Harvest hire noncitizens for its temporary, seasonal work? If so, what procedures must the employer follow to do this hiring? If not, how can Healthy Harvest be assured that it is hiring only citizens?


It is illegal to hire for work in the United States a person who is not authorized to work here. Thus, under no circumstances can an employer legally hire a noncitizen who is in the United States unlawfully. But an employer may hire a noncitizen who is a lawful permanent resident. The principal responsibility to verify an individual's identity and eligibility to work rests with the employer. The employee must produce documents that establish his or her identity and legal employability. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) supplies a form-Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification-that an employer must complete within three days of hiring an employee (and retain for three years). An employer is subject to penalties for illegally employing noncitizens.
