Dump Trucks Columbus OH Insight:

E-Verify is a federal online employment verification system that employers can use to confirm new hires' eligibility to columbus oh dump truck company in the United States. While E-Verify is optional for most employers, it is mandatory for federal contractors, some state contractors, and companies that want to participate in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) Optional Practical Training program when hiring foreign graduates of American colleges. A small number of states also require the use of E-Verify.

President Donald Trump has expressed interest in making E-Verify mandatory, possibly as part of a larger overhaul of U.S. immigration law. 

The system works by cross-referencing the information provided by employees on Form I-9 with Social Security and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) records. For employers who are not currently required to use E-Verify, there are pros and cons to doing so. 

DHS has created a compliance and monitoring division specifically for E-Verify. While that division cannot currently assess any penalties, this could change in the future. Additionally, once an employer enrolls in E-Verify, that employer must use it for all new hires going forward. This process is not always simple and easy; When the government shut down last winter, so did E-Verify, leading to delays and glitches. 

On the other hand, E-Verify provides an additional level of verification during employment eligibility checks, and the system has recently been made more user-friendly for employers and employees alike, attorney Susan Cohen of Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and Popeo PC previously told HR Dive.
