Comply with E-Verify posting requirements with our federal compliance poster. In addition to the basic employment law posters

post specialized postings, depending on the specifics of your operations
or the nature of your relationship with the federal government.
E-Verify is a voluntary program run by the United States government to help certify that employees hired by companies are legally authorized to work in the United States. Formerly known as the Basic Pilot/Employment Eligibility Verification Program, this program is operated by the Department of Homeland Security in partnership with the Social Security Administration. The program is free. As of August 31, 2007, the program has begun to include biometric data to help enhance searches. The 14 million images kept by federal immigration authorities are being used in the program, and the government is in talks with some states to cross reference with state drivers license records.
As of September 2007, most of the United States federal government did not use the system when hiring employees, but a new directive mandates that they use the system starting October 1, 2007. On June 6, 2008, President George W. Bush signed an amendment to Executive Order 12989 requiring that more than 200,000 federal contractors use E-Verify. More than 22,000 companies have registered. Guidelines are being drafted to deal with companies that repeatedly hire illegal immigrants. About 5 percent of queries are identified as "not authorized to work". Every month, over 2,000 companies join the program.
