Employer Contact About Mistakes

Summary

Employers can contact former employees about past mistakes, especially involving age-restricted sales. Arizona law requires reasonable ID verification. Liability depends on intent and circumstances. If a realistic fake ID is used, sellers might not be held liable if they reasonably believed the ID was valid. Serious legal issues could have longer implications.
