Clinton Perkins and his son-in-law Christopher Reindl have been charged with hiring dozens of undocumented workers for temporary warehouse jobs, the Chicago Tribune reported. The two are the president and office manager, respectively, of a pair of Bensenville-based temporary staffing companies.

In an apparent attempt to stay beneath the radar, authorities say the men paid the undocumented workers in cash and failed to deduct taxes. They also withdrew cash for wages in amounts of $9,800, which authorities said was an attempt to skirt a law that requires banks to report withdrawals in excess of $10,000.

Oral arguments for the case, Staub v. Proctor Hospital, are scheduled for the fall.

Vincent Staub was terminated from his job in 2004 after 15 years as a lab technician at Proctor Hospital. He was called up for active duty in the Iraq War in 2003, primarily to help other soldiers set up radiology units in a field hospital.

He sued his employer and a jury found that his immediate supervisor fired him out of "her negative opinion of Staub's military service." His lawsuit was filed under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), which protects National Guardsmen and Reservists from biased treatment connected to their military serv
