McDonald's Corp will pay $US355,000 ($NZ541,000) in civil penalties, undergo 20 months of monitoring and train its employees as part of a settlement of an immigration-related discrimination claim, the US Justice Department said.
"The settlement agreement also requires McDonald's to compensate lawful permanent resident employees of McDonald's-owned restaurants who lost work or lost their jobs due to these documentary practices," Justice said.
The agreement only addresses actions by McDonald's, not its franchises, the department said.
