Ross Agrees to Pay Penalty Over Hiring Allegations

Ross Stores agreed to pay about $17,000 to resolve allegations it discriminated against foreigners during its hiring process, the Justice Department said. Management at a San Ysidro, Calif. store was accused of improperly requiring a job applicant to provide the company with a green card even though she was cleared to work in the U.S. and had provided a valid alternate form of ID.
