The Department of Justice announced that it reached a settlement with Bel USA LLC (Bel USA), an online distributor and retailer of customized promotional products located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The settlement resolves claims that Bel USA discriminated against work-authorized non-U.S. citizens by requiring them to provide specific and unnecessary immigration documents when verifying their work authorization, because of their citizenship or immigration status.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Bel USA will pay a civil penalty of $100,000, train its employees about the antidiscrimination requirements, and be subject to reporting and monitoring.
