Georgia Dept. of Agriculture failed to use E-Verify
January 21, 2013
E-Verify is an Internet-based, free program run by the United States government that compares information from an employee’s Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 to data from U.S. government records. Benefits of E-Verify HRMorning and NumberUSA state the following advantages to the E-Verify system, displaying why and how it has become such a pivotal part of the employment screening process:
- It allows the employer to query the government databases as to validity of documentation.
- For those in vulnerable industries, it saves time and training by identifying unauthorized workers.
- It is easy to use and free for employers.
- An employer who uses the pilot in good faith cannot be held liable for hiring an illegal alien (use of the system is an affirmative defense.)
- Mandatory use of E-Verify ensures that all U.S. businesses operate on a level playing field.
- American taxpayers benefit because they don’t have to subsidize employers’ cheap labor by providing welfare.
