The US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Tuesday that it secured a $365,000 settlement with General Motors Company (GM) over the company’s alleged discrimination against non-US citizens.

The settlement resolves the DOJ’s contention that “there is reasonable cause to believe that [GM] engaged in a pattern or practice of unfair documentary practices on the basis of citizenship status.” This conclusion was premised on the finding that GM personnel illegally asked non-US new hires to provide additional documents not required by law during the process of verifying applicants’ employment eligibility. Ultimately, the DOJ alleged that GM violated 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(6), and GM settled to avoid any future litigation.

According to the terms of the settlement, GM will pay $365,000 in civil penalties. Additionally, GM will revise its employment policies to align with the expectations set by law and develop a plan to implement them across all personnel.

The DOJ also announced Tuesday a new resource to help employers identify and avoid immigration-related discrimination. It focuses primarily on export control laws and the Immigration and Nationality Act, which forbids employers from making decisions about employment on the basis of citizenship, immigration status, or national origin.
