Infosys to pay $34 million in I-9 settlement

October 30, 2013

Information technology services firm Infosys Ltd. (NYSE: INFY) announced it will pay $34 million to settle a probe by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The settlement is focused on historical I-9 paperwork errors from 2010 through 2011 that the company said it began correcting before the investigation.

Infosys denies any claims of visa fraud or misuse of visas. The company also said there is no evidence the I-9 paperwork violations allowed any Infosys employee to work beyond their visa authorization.

There were no criminal charges or court rulings against the company. Also, there are no limitation on Infosys’ eligibility for federal contracts or access to U.S. visa programs as a result of the settlement.
