Work in USA

When you work in the US you will be paid each week, every two weeks or once a month. Your pay check will show how much you pay in federal and state taxes, Social Security and any employer benefits. Some employers pay by ‘direct deposit', this is when your earnings are paid directly to your back account.

Federal law in the USA says that employers cannot discriminate against you because of your immigration status. Employers cannot:

Refuse to hire you, or fire you, because of your immigration status or because you are not a U.S. citizen.
Require you to show a Permanent Resident Card, or reject your lawful work papers. Prefer hiring undocumented workers.
Discriminate against you because of your national origin (or country of origin).
Retaliate against any employee who complains of the above treatment.
