Why E-Verify is Critical for ESS Clients

U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States – either U.S. citizens, or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization. This diverse workforce contributes greatly to the vibrancy and strength of our economy, but that same strength also attracts unauthorized employment.
Employment Screening Services can protect your organization from investigation and fines related to violations that you may not even realize you may be committing.
Did you know that E-Verify, though seemingly easy to use, has strict policies that could result in your company being fined, in upwards of $3,200? For example, in the event that there was an error in the hiring process, and your company failed to comply with Form I-9 requirements, you will be fined at the very least $110, but potentially up to $1,100.
Other factors, like document fraud, such as forging documents or not ensuring accurate information will result in a $375 dollar fine. See the infographic for more in depth analysis of the fines associated with various infractions.
Failure to comply with the regulations of I-9 and E-Verify can result in more than just economic ramifications. Lack of attention to detail in this facet of documentation also puts you at risk legally, as well as the public reputation of your company. Don’t let oversight put your corporate image in a bad light.
All of our employees here at ESS have reviewed all of the rules and regulations of E-Verify in depth. We have extensive experience working with E-Verify, having used the service since 2011. We can watch over all of your documentation with I-9 and E-Verify, so you can get back to running your business and not agonize over Government regulations.
