  • Following a batch of frivolous complaints against executives that resulted in several of them hating your guts because you conducted the investigations, you institute a policy calling for brief "reviews" rather than full-scale investigations whenever a complaint is filed against an executive. The next time a complaint is made against an executive, you conduct a brief review and find no evidence of wrongdoing. What's most likely to happen next?

Should You Use E-Verify?

Recently, Homeland Security announced that all federal contractors will be required to use E-Verify effective September 8. Many are wondering if the government will soon make it mandatory for all employers.

Should you use E-Verify? How do those who use it feel about it? We thought we’d turn those questions over to the experts — you.

What is E-Verify?

E-Verify is an electronic employment eligibility verification system designed to deter employers from hiring illegal immigrants. We use it here at Manpower and find it to be quite consistent and speedy.

Who uses E-Verify? Does it work?

We asked 1,822 HR professionals and business owners for their thoughts on this subject. Here’s what they said . . .

Do you use E-Verify?

  • Yes: 33%
  • No: 67%

If you use E-Verify, how would you rate it in terms of quality, consistency and speed?

  • Excellent: 10%
  • Very Good: 50%
  • Good: 32%
  • Fair: 6%
  • Poor: 1%

So, roughly a third of those surveyed utilize E-Verify, even though it’s not required yet. And those who use the system rate it quite highly, with a whopping 92% rating it “Good” or better and only 1% rating it “Poor.”

Will E-Verify soon be mandatory for all employers?

Some in Congress appear to be pushing for that very thing. Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), head of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, is calling for a system to verify the employment eligibility of all employees.

Stay tuned to see how this plays out. Click here for more on E-Verify and here and here for other recent immigration news.
