form I-9 question employee verification

[Dillon]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Republic of Texas

left my previous job making good money and I got a job OFFER from another company, passed their drug test with flying colors, filled out the I-9 by writing " FIFTH AMENDMENT " across the entire form and signed my name with all rights reserved.

Can the company fire me for not possibly/maybe incriminating myself when I signed and filled-out this form?

also I am not domiciled in the District of Columbia or the territories at this time.

If they hire you in the first place, yes.

ETA: They're not firing you for "not possibly/maybe incriminating" yourself - they are firing you for failure to provide the required documentation.

What a hypocrite. You cannot claim not to be a citizen of the great United States, yet still rely upon the Constitution when it suits you.

Dillon will come back with reasoning showing how we're all wrong

The employer needs to make sure the I-9 (at least some parts) are properly filled out by the employee. If the employer does not terminate you immediately when you fail to properly fill in the form, they can be penalized by the government. If you do such foolishness, they break the law by not firing you.

I'm sure he will. And when he does, we'll all be laughing AT him, NOT with him.

I am not required to incriminate myself if the information can be used against me in a court of law.

If I can't be punished directly by Gov. without due process (complaint and trial, etc.) I can't be punished indirectly thru the company.

I thought I was presumed innocent till proven quilty?

 

[Zigner]

Its my understanding, if I can't be punished directly by Gov. without due process (complaint and trial, etc.) I can't be punished indirectly thru the company.

This just further clarifies your lack of understanding.

What about the Job offer and me leaving my previous good paying job in good faith?

Can I be fired by this company for exercising my Rights?

If you don't know it's OK.

Not only can they, they must.

Look also to the Supreme Court decisions on taxes.

Now, why are you being silly? What point are you trying to make?

 

[Dillon]

I'm sure he will. And when he does, we'll all be laughing AT him, NOT with him.

the violation of Rights in not a laughing matter, Is it?

 

[Dillon]

Look also to the Supreme Court decisions on taxes.

It's not the W-4 and has nothing to do with taxes, does it?

 

[Zigner]

This thread is pointless.

 

[Zigner]

the violation of Rights in not a laughing matter, Is it?

No, not at all. The reason we're laughing is that there is no violation of rights. That makes what you are implying laughable.

 

[Sockeye]

Funny how the people that scream the loudest about "rights" are the one's least likely to understand others have the same rights as well.

Yes, it's within your rights not to complete the form, it's certainly within the rights of the company to not hire you.
