An orchard owner hired an illegal immigrant worker for the growing and picking season. The terms of the agreement indicated that the grower would pay $25 a week spending money plus room and board for the extent of the season. Once picking was complete and the crop sold, the worker would receive a lump sum payment of $15,000 for the season. After the harvest, the worker asked for his pay, and the orchard owner gave the worker $100 and told him to get lost. The immigrant worker found a lawyer filed suit against the orchard owner. The orchard owner argued that hiring illegal immigrants is against the law that the contract was for an illegal purpose and, therefore, was unenforceable. The picker argued that public policy requires that the court enforce the contract. I do understand that we have no covered the basics of employment law. The issue here is the existence and enforceability of the Contract.
