All E-Verify users are bound by the guidelines set forth in the E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the rules and responsibilities outlined by E-Verify and this tutorial. Everyone using E-Verify should adhere to the following rules.
Employers participating in E-Verify MUST:
Follow E-Verify procedures for each newly hired employee while enrolled/participating in E-Verify.
Inform each job applicant about employee rights and the employer’s participation in E-Verify.
Clearly display the “Notice of E-Verify Participation” and “Right to Work” posters in all languages supplied by DHS. If you cannot display either notice, both should be printed and distributed to every job applicant.
Complete Form I-9 for each newly hired employee before creating a case in E-Verify.
Promptly provide each employee who receives a Tentative Non-Confirmation (TNC) Further Action Notice with the opportunity to contest a TNC.
Provide each employee who receives a TNC eight federal government work days to contest it (i.e., contact the appropriate federal agency to begin to resolve the TNC).
Allow each newly hired employee to start and continue working during the E-Verify verification process, even if he or she receives and contests a TNC, and even if it takes longer than ten days to resolve the TNC.
