E-Verify usage now mandatory for all federal contractors and subcontractors
The E-Verify federal contractor rule, which became effective on September 8, requires federal contractors and subcontractors to use the E-Verify system to confirm that all new employees performing work under federal contracts are authorized to work in the United States. Federal contracts awarded and solicitations issued after September 8, 2009 must include a clause committing federal contractors to use E-Verify. The same clause will also be required in subcontracts over $3,000 for services or construction.
While E-Verify was originally intended solely to screen new hires, federal contractors will now be required to screen current employees who are working on that company's federal contracts. Those contractors will also be allowed to use E-Verify to screen all current employees, even those who may not be assigned to that project.
With new rules and regulations like this adding to the pressure to use E-Verify to screen employees, if you're not using it, you might as well go ahead and start, so compliance won't be so difficult later on.
