Your employees will be in deportation proceedings. If they meet the requirements of Cancellation of Removal, they might be able to stay in the US.

We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.

Assuming that the employee had entered the U.S. without inspection (no documents), he will be put in deportation proceedings, and if he meets the requirements of cancellation of removal , may be able to stay in the U.S. Please note, that it is illegal for employers to knowingly employ someone who is not legally authorized to work in the U.S., and the employer can get penalized for such.
