What employers are affected by IRCAs discrimination provisions?
Unlike the verification and sanctions provisions of IRCA, not all employers are affected by IRCA’s discrimination provisions. Under IRCA, employers of more than three (3) employees are subject to discrimination claims. By contrast, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, only employers of fifteen or more employees are covered. Thus, IRCA covers those employers of between four and fourteen employees who previously had no exposure to federal anti-discrimination law.
