Starting January 15, 2009 all federal contractors and sub-contractors are required to use the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify for all new hires. Its main purpose is to ensure that all new hires have legal rights to work in the U.S. This new requirement was put into effect through President George W. Bush’s signing of Executive Order 12989 on June 6, 2008. Please see full copy at http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/06/20080609-2.html
In order to be prepared for this new requirement, you must enroll in E-Verify either on line at https://www.vis-dhs.com/EmployerRegistration/StartPage.aspx , by calling the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customer Support line at 1-888-464-4218, or via e-mail E-Verify@dhs.gov. You have to use E-Verify for each new hire. Records of each submission and corresponding results should be retained for two years for all federal contractors.
