President Bush Signs Order Mandating E-Verify for Federal Contractors

On June 6, 2008, President Bush signed an Executive Order amending Executive Order 12989, directing all Federal departments and agencies to require contractors, as a condition of each future federal contract, to agree to use E-Verify (designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS)) to verify the employment eligibility of:

1. All persons hired during the contract term by the contractor to perform employment duties within the United States; and
2. All persons assigned by the contractor to perform work within the United States on the federal contract.

As one of only a handful of federally approve E-Verify web services designated agents, the LawLogix Guardian system enables employers to electronically prepare the I-9 employment eligibility verification form and submit the data to E-Verify with the single click of a button.

Because our Guardian software has passed a rigorous certification process by DHS, our seamless E-Verify integration system can save your organization hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars by:

1. Eliminating the requirement that your staff spend hours reviewing the DHS online tutorial and taking their mandatory Mastery Test until they achieve a passing score (4 to 6 hours alone)
2. Saving you the task of duplicate data entry from your paper I-9 forms into E-Verify
3. Automatically providing you with the SSA “Tentative Non-Confirmation” employee notice and "SSA Referral Letter" follow-up responses for E-Verify tentative non-confirmation results
4. Capturing and tracking your E-Verify results in case you are audited
5. And much more:

Press Release: DHS Designates E-Verify as Employment Eligibility Verification System for All Federal Contractors

Release Date: June 9, 2008

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010

The Department of Homeland Security today designated E-Verify, operated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in partnership with the Social Security Administration, as the electronic employment eligibility verification system that all federal contractors must use as required by Executive Order 12989, as amended. E-Verify is a free Internet-based system that allows enrolled employers to confirm the legal status of new hires within seconds.

"A large part of our success in enforcing the nation's immigration laws hinges on equipping employers with the tools to determine quickly and effectively if a worker is legal or illegal," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. "E-Verify is a proven tool that helps employers immediately verify the legal working status for all new hires."

President George W. Bush has amended Executive Order 12989 in order to direct all federal departments and agencies to require contractors, as a condition of each future federal contract, to agree to use an electronic employment eligibility verification system – designated by the Secretary of Homeland Security – to verify the employment eligibility of all persons hired during the contract term and all persons performing work within the United States on the federal contract.

In response to this Executive Order, Secretary Michael Chertoff today designated E-Verify as the system of choice to ensure that the federal government only does business with companies that agree to verify the legality of their new hires and further, that the specific employees tapped to perform contract services in the United States for the federal government are authorized to work in this country. Federal departments and agencies within the executive branch are already enrolling with E-Verify to check the status of all new hires within the federal workforce.

More than 69,000 employers currently rely on E-Verify to determine that their new hires are authorized to work in the United States. Employers have run more than 4 million employment verification queries so far in fiscal year 2008. Of those queries, 99.5 percent of qualified employees are cleared automatically by E-Verify.

Guardian makes I-9 Practical and Safe: No Penalties, No Deadlines Missing

"In light of the current climate of dramatically stepped-up workplace enforcement efforts by ICE and the imposition of stiffer employer penalties for substantive I-9 violations, it is just common sense to make Guardian an integral part of your company's I-9 compliance program.

Guardian takes the guesswork out of I-9 compliance by error checking the critical information entered on the Form I-9 and by prompting your company representative if data inconsistencies appear before the form can be approved.

In addition, the capacity to migrate your existing paper I-9s into the Guardian system and have them undergo rigorous checking for potential substantive violations or omissions is an invaluable service that significantly reduces your company's risk of being sanctioned in the event of an I-9 audit.

With Guardian, it is easy to gain and maintain control of managing your I-9 records no matter how large or small the size of your company."
