E-Verify and I-9

Cooley Law School processes all hires through E-Verify. The State of Florida requires employers in the state to use E-Verify. E-Verify is an internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. E-Verify electronically compares information contained on the Form I-9 with records contained in the Social Security Administration (SSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) databases to verify the identity and employment eligibility of employees It is unlawful to use E-Verify as a screening tool prior to offering a position to an applicant. Verification is only performed on a new hire who has accepted an offer of employment and completed the Form I-9.

Section 1 of the Form I-9 must be completed on or before the employee’s first day of employment, and section 2 of the Form I-9 must be completed within three business days of the employee’s start date. An employee who is unable to produce acceptable documents or receipts within three business days of the employee’s start date may not work or be paid until this requirement is met. The Form I-9 must be submitted to E-Verify by Cooley within three days of the employee’s start date.Please carefully review these important posters:
