The I-9
After the I-9 forms are filled by the employees, employers are required to verify the details on the documents provided by the employees. This ensures the eligibility of the employee to work in the United States and protects the employer from hiring people unlawfully. Hiring an ineligible worker can result in legal consequences, thus we recommend using the E-Verify web-based system to verify the details their employees provided on the I-9 form. If a company has employed an ineligible worker, the consequences would greatly harm the employer. Hence, to avoid legal disputes, employers and federal contractors are encouraged to use this system to verify the I-9 forms. Also, in case of a legal dispute, the court may rule this verification mandatory for a certain employer. Our skilled lawyers can provide you with assistance and guide you through legal options to establish an effective verification system at your workplace to protect you and your employees.
E-Verify

This ensures the eligibility of the employee to work in the United States. Hiring an ineligible worker can result in legal consequences. E-Verify is a web-based system that allows employers to verify the details of their employees. The employees provide these details on I-9 forms and the employer can verify them online.
