At The Service Companies, we verify every employee. Our team of skilled hospitality experts ensures full compliance with state and federal regulations to ensure employers avoid daily fines and suspension and revocation of state licenses and permits.
Recent changes in government have put more pressure on companies to ensure fully legal and compliant staffing. Now, more than ever, employers must exercise thorough due diligence to ensure compliance with current regulations.
Understanding E-Verify
According to OnPay, “E-Verify is a federally operated online system that matches up government records with information obtained from Form I-9, a document that all new employees are required to fill out. The program was designed to help employers verify the work eligibility status of new employees.”
Essential E-Verify Guidelines for Employers
- While E-Verify participation remains voluntary for many businesses, 23 states now mandate its use, making it crucial for employers to understand their local requirements.
- The verification process applies universally to all new hires, regardless of citizenship status, ensuring fair and consistent employment practices.
- The Department of Homeland Security may conduct audits to identify potential cases of unauthorized employment through the E-Verify system.
Why Compliance Matters
Maintaining E-Verify compliance protects both employers and employees while fostering a legitimate workforce. Key benefits include:
- Creating a secure workplace that prioritizes authorized workers and legitimate employment
- Avoiding severe consequences of non-compliance, including business license revocation and substantial financial penalties
- Establishing a strong defense against potential legal issues related to unauthorized employment
