Employment Eligibility Verification
Employers must comply with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. They must verify employment eligibility of all applicants actually hired. The identity of the applicant and the applicant's authorization to work must be established. Once documents are verified, a Form I-9 must be filled out. It is preferable that copies of the verifying documents be made.
Federal and state law require employers to report new hires and rehires within 20 calendar days from the date in which the employee starts earning wages. Information received from employers is entered into a statewide registry and then transmitted to the National Directory of New Hires.
