The new rule implements Executive Order 12989, as ammended by President George W. Bush on June 6, 2008, directing federal agencies
to require that federal contractors agree to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their employees. The amended Executive
Order reinforces the policy, first announced in 1996, that the federal government does bussiness with companies that have a legal workforce.
This new rule requires federal contractors to agree, through language inserted into their federal contracts, to use E-Verify to confirm
the employment eligibility of all persons hired during a contract term, and to confirm the employment eligibility of federal contractor's
current employees who perform contract services for the federal government within the United States.
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) legally mandate that U.S. employers must verify the employment eligibility status of
newly hired employees and makes it unlawful for employers to knowingly hire or continue to employ unathorized workers. Noncompliance, whether
intentional or caused simply by oversight, has severe legal and financial consequences imposed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),
as well as the potential of a corporate image by negative publicity.
