eason an employer may have had.
For example, an employer may try to
be helpful by letting a person who has
identified herself as a permanent resident
know that she could provide her
green card for documentation. The
employer’s intent is to be helpful, not
to discriminate. This is different than
requiring all foreign-born employees
to present a green card, which is
clearly discriminatory. However, the
final rule does not ultimately resolve
this issue because DOJ also explains
that if the employer is intentionally
treating the permanent resident differently,
i.e., because of her citizenship
status, then the employer has
discriminated.
• Individuals who submit a discrimination
claim within the 180-day time
period provided by law now have an
additional 45 days to submit information
if the Special Counsel decides
that they did not provide enough information
to meet the requirements
for a “charge.”
• The DOJ Special Counsel may accept
charges filed after the 180-day
time limit under certain circumstances.
• The Special Counsel may file a
complaint based on an investigation
the office initiated, up to five years after
the date of alleged discrimination.
While the final rule still does not provide
answers to all of the questions
raised by employers, the agency has
clarified its position as to enforcement
of the law.
