Benefits Think News You Can Use: E-Verify on hold

Published 1 Min Read

E-Verify, a system rule that would require employers to screen workers to ensure their employment eligibility (read: immigration status), has been tabled until May 21 to give new Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano time to review it.

I suspect Secretary Napolitano can take all the time she wants/needs, if employers could have their way, as previous EBN reports on E-Verify quotes sources that cites the system’s “reliability issues,” and even going so far as to call it “unworkable.”
