azcentral.com just annouced that the State of Arizona's first arrests have been made and will continue an investigation to determine whether or not Golfland Entertainment and Waterworld locations in North Phoenix and Mesa have been "knowingly" hiring undocumented workers.
The Employer Sanctions Law, more commonly known as the Legal Arizona Workers Act (HB2779), was passed on Jan, 1st 2008. The law states that Arizona business owners can face stiff fines and more importantly, a 10 day business suspension for the first violation and permamnet business suspension if found guilty for a second time. Employers are required by both federal and state law to verify the status of a new hire's eligibility to work in the U.S. through a program called E-Verify.
