The Justice Department announced that it has fined Aquatico Pool Management for document abuse. According to DOJ:

On June 8, 2010, OSC entered into a settlement agreement resolving a charge of discrimination. The charge, which was filed by a lawful permanent resident, alleged discrimination in the employment eligibility verification (Form I-9) process. The charging party established his right to work by providing a valid DHS-issued permanent resident card during the Form I-9 employment eligibility verification process. However, because he also presented a Social Security card with the notation “valid for work only with DHS authorization,” Aquatico refused to hire the charging party as a part-time swim instructor. Aquatico agreed to pay a civil penalty of $1,100 to the federal government for a single act of document abuse, and $499.20 in back pay and interest to the charging party. The company will also post anti-discrimination notices and will train its employees regarding the anti-discrimination provision of the INA. OSC will monitor Aquatico’s I-9 practices for three years.
