How do U.S. work authorization laws affect your hiring process and E-Verify requirements?
Under U.S. federal law, every employer must verify that their workforce consists only of individuals legally authorized to work in the United States, including U.S. citizens and eligible foreign nationals.
EMP Trust’s E-Verify solution automates this legal mandate, ensuring your organization remains in full compliance with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations while streamlining the verification of employment eligibility for every new hire.
U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States-either U.S. citizens, or foreign citizens who have the necessary work authorization. Through E-Verify, employers electronically verify that their newly hired employees are legally authorized to work in the United States.
E-Verify is an internet-based system operated by the Department of Homeland Security in partnership with the Social Security Administration and allows employers to confirm an individual’s employment eligibility in the United States.
Under the E-Verify rule, effective September 8, 2009, federal agencies subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation are required to modify, and include in new contracts, a provision that requires federal contractors and subcontractors to use E-Verify for existing team members who have substantial duties on such federal contracts.
