Government Cracking Down On Illegal Employees

Dec. 17, 2007 - PRLog -- With the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requiring that employers must check the employment eligibility status of all newly hired employees, employers are now being targeted to increase their responsible hiring practices to avoid hiring illegal workers. Failing to do so can result in employers being fined anywhere from $100 to $10,000, or a six month prison sentence.

With employers wishing to keep costs down, and make the checking of their new hire’s legal status as easy as possible, the Department of Homeland Security among other groups has developed the I-9 Employment Verification System. This system allows employers to check their applicants work eligibility status instantly, without spending an excessive amount of time and money in the process.

The I-9 Employment Verification System is able to verify the accuracy of Social Security numbers, I-94 numbers, and Immigration “A” numbers, and gives each employer a designated DHS issued verification number that they can keep on file as proof that they have shown compliance with the immigration law. This gives the employer piece of mind that they are hiring people who are legally able to work in the US, as well as ensuring the safety of the future of their business.
