E-Ver"Ify <br />Company ID Number: 221827 <br />rt f( <br />41` <br />1:5 ! <br />I[111 11F: 01 1 S <br />6. The Employer understands that participation in E-Verify does not exempt the Employer <br />from the responsibility to complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms 1-9 that <br />relate to its employees, or from other requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including <br />the obligation to comply with the antidiscrimination requirements of section 274B of the INA with <br />respect to Form 1-9 procedures, except for the following modified requirements applicable by <br />reason of the Employer's participation in E-Verify: (1) identity documents must have photos, as <br />described in paragraph 5 above; (2) a rebuttable presumption is established that the Employer <br />has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with respect <br />to the hiring of any individual if it obtains confirmation of the identity and employment eligibility of <br />the individual in compliance with the terms and conditions of E-Verify; (3) the Employer must <br />notify DHS if it continues to employ any employee after receiving a final nonconfirmation, and is <br />subject to a civil money penalty between $550 and $1,100 for each failure to notify DHS of <br />continued employment following a final nonconfirmation; (4) the Employer is subject to a <br />rebuttable presumption that it has knowingly employed an unauthorized alien in violation of <br />section 274A(a)(1)(A) if the Employer continues to employ an employee after receiving a final <br />nonconfirmation; and (5) no person or entity participating in E-Verify is civilly or criminally liable <br />under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information provided through the <br />confirmation system. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form 1-9 compliance inspections during <br />the course of E-Verify, as well as to conduct any other enforcement activity authorized by law. <br />7. The Employer agrees to initiate E-Verify verification procedures for new employees <br />within 3 Employer business days after each employee has been hired (but after both sections 1 <br />and 2 of the Form 1-9 have been completed), and to complete as many (but only as many) steps <br />of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the E-Verify User Manual. The Employer <br />is prohibited from initiating verification procedures before the employee has been hired and the <br />Form 1-9 completed. If the automated system to be queried is temporarily unavailable, the 3-day <br />time period is extended until it is again operational in order to accommodate the Employer's <br />attempting, in good faith, to make inquiries during the period of unavailability. In all cases, the <br />Employer must use the SSA verification procedures first, and use DHS verification procedures <br />and photo screening tool only after the SSA verification response has been given. Employers <br />may initiate verification by notating the Form 1-9 in circumstances where the employee has <br />applied for a Social Security Number (SSN) from the SSA and is waiting to receive the SSN, <br />provided that the Employer performs an E-Verify employment verification query using the <br />employee's SSN as soon as the SSN becomes available. <br />8. The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify procedures for pre -employment screening of <br />job applicants, in support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use not <br />authorized by this MOU. Employers must use E-Verify for all new employees, unless an <br />Employer is a Federal contractor that qualifies for the exceptions described in Article II.D.1.c. <br />Except as provided in Article II.D, the Employer will not verify selectively and will not verify <br />employees hired before the effective date of this MOU. The Employer understands that if the <br />Employer uses E-Verify procedures for any purpose other than as authorized by this MOU, the <br />Employer may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its access to SSA and <br />DHS information pursuant to this MOU. <br />9. The Employer agrees to follow appropriate procedures (see Article III. below) regarding <br />tentative nonconfirmations, including notifying employees of the finding, providing written <br />referral instructions to employees, allowing employees to contest the finding, and not taking <br />Page 4 of 13JE-Verify MOU for Employerl Revision Date 10/29/08 �; , <br />
