Welcome to the Employing Immigrants' Site

The Seattle Office for Civil Rights (SOCR) developed this site to give employers easy access to immigrant employment laws. The site includes:

• What documents can immigrant workers use to prove their identity and employment eligibility?


• What types of hiring practices lead to discrimination lawsuits?


• Are "English-Only" workplace policies legal?


• When do "citizen-only" and "permanent resident-only" hiring policies spell trouble?

Funding for this web site came from the US Department of Justice-Office of Special Counsel on Immigration Related Employment Discrimination, in partnership with the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.
