=1 AW E-Venry E VEPITIY M A SERVICE IF DIES Company ID Number: 221827 adverse action against employees if they choose to contest the finding. Further, when employees contest a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo no,n-match, the Employer is required to take affirmative steps (see Article III.B. below) to contact DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge. 10. The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the employee's perceived employment eligibility status while SSA or DHS is processing the verification request unless the Employer obtains knowledge (as defined in 8 CRR § 274a,1(1)) that the employee is not work authorized. The Employer understands that an, initial inability of the SSA or DHS automated verification system to verify work authorization, a tentative noncoinfirmation, a case in continuance (indicating the need for additional time for the government to resolve a case), or the finding of a photo non -match, does not establish, and should not be interpreted as evidence, that the employee is not work authorized. In any of the cases listed above, the employee must be provided a full and fair opportunity to contest the finding, and if he or she does so, the employee may not be terminated or suffer any adverse employment consequences based upon the employee's perceived employment eligibility status (including denying, reducing, or extending work hours,, delaying or preventing training, requiring an employee to work in poorer conditions, refusing to assign the employee to a Federal contract or other assignment, or otherwise subjecting an employee to any assumption that he or she is unauthorized to work) until and unless secondary verification by SSA or DHS has been, completed and a final nonconfirmation has been issued. If the employee does not choose to contest a tentative nonconfirmation or a photo non -match or if a secondary verification is completed and a final nonconfirmation is issued, then the Employer can find the employee is not work authorized and terminate the employee's employment. Employers or employees with questions about a final nonconfirmation may call E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218 or OSC at 1-800- 255-8,15,5 or 1-800-237-25115 (TIDD). 11, The Employer agrees to comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and section 274B of the INA by snot discriminating unlawfully against any individual in hiring, firing, or recruitment or referral practices because of his or her national origin or, in the case of a protected individual as defined in section 274B(a)(3) of the INA, because of his or her citizenship status. The Employer understands that such illegal practices can include selective verification or use of E-Verify except as provided in part D below, or discharging or refusing to hire employees because they appear or sound "foreign" or have received tentative nonco,nfirmations. The Employer further understands that any violation of the unfair immigration -related employment practices provisions in section 274E of the INA could subject the Employer to civil penalties, back pay awards, and other sanctions, and violations of Title VII could subject the Employer to back pay awards, compensatory and punitive damages. Vi6lations of either section 274B of the INA or Title VII may also leadto the termination of its participation in E-Verify. If the Employer has any questions relating to the anti -discrimination provision, i:t should contact OSC at 1-81010-255-8155 or 1800-237-2515 (TDD). 12. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form 1-9 or to print the screen containing the case verification number and attach it to, the employee's Form 1-9. 13.
