What is e-Verify?
e-Verify is a cutting-edge, web-based system that allows employers to verify the employment eligibility of their new hires electronically. Developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA), e-Verify is essential for confirming that your workforce is made up of people authorized to work in the United States.
The core functionality of e-Verify lies in its ability to compare the information provided by employees on Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, against records held by the DHS and SSA databases. This real-time verification process ensures that your organization is hiring individuals who have the legal right to work in the United States, reducing the risk of hiring unauthorized workers.
Who Uses e-Verify?
e-Verify is not only a tool for large corporations but is suitable for businesses of all sizes. Employers across various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, hospitality, and technology, rely on e-Verify to:
- Comply with Federal Regulations: e-Verify is mandated for certain federal contractors and subcontractors. By utilizing the system, these entities ensure they meet their legal obligations and maintain their eligibility for federal contracts.
- Streamline Hiring Processes: e-Verify simplifies the onboarding process by providing quick and accurate verification results. This results in reduced paperwork, minimized administrative burdens, and faster hiring cycles.
- Enhance Workforce Integrity: All employers can benefit from e-Verify’s ability to detect identity fraud and confirm the authenticity of employment eligibility documents. It helps create a workforce that is legally authorized to work, reducing the risk of audits and penalties.
- Protect Against Discrimination: e-Verify is designed to protect against discrimination by providing a consistent, non-discriminatory verification process for all employees. It promotes fairness and equity in the hiring process.
