Facebook will have to pay more than $14 million to settle a case that alleged US workers were denied employment because it reserved jobs for foreign workers with temporary visas in 2018 and 2019, the Justice Department said
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit in December 2020 against Facebook for allegedly reserving jobs for temporary visa holders through the permanent labor certification program and using recruitment methods to deter US workers from applying to certain positions.Facebook allegedly required applications to be submitted by mail only, refused to consider US workers who applied to the positions, did not advertise positions on their careers website and hired only temporary visa holders.
75 million to the US under the Justice Department's settlement and pay up to $9.5 million to eligible victims of Facebook's alleged discrimination, and train its employees on the anti-discrimination requirements of the INA. A list of individuals eligible for compensation will be determined by the Civil Rights Division and Facebook, a DOJ official said.
