Verifying if an new hire is authorized to work in the United States is much more simplified by using the E-Verify process. From the date of hire, the employer only has 3 days to process the I-9 and verify right to work. Roughly, 20 states have made using E-Verify mandatory and most likely more will follow. Washington State does not make using E-Verify mandatory as of yet, but I would recommend using this FREE online verification process. Using E-Verify will provide peace of mind and help you feel confident the employee you hired is authorized to work.
The verification process is automatic with this system and compares what you input from the I-9 into their database coming back with a message saying the employe is authorized to work. If the system comes back to say they are not authorized to work,and there is a mismatch of information then the E-Verify system will respond back with further instructions on what the employee will need to do to resolve the mismatch and next step in the process. The employee is still allowed to work, but only has 8 Federal working days to resolve the issue.
