As
required by the Immigration and Control Act, we
must verify an employees eligibility to work through
the use of a form called I-9, provided by the Office
of the U.S, Citizenship and Immigration Service.
The law requires that the I-9 form be completed
and verified within three days of beginning work.
Our Company takes these requirements seriously and
wishes to communicate them to you, our valued applicants
and employees.
What
our valued applicants and employees must do:
" Provide proof of identity
" Provide documentation of legal authorization
to work in this country
To
accomplish this, be sure that the following areas are
filled out completely on Section 1 of the I-9 form:
" Your name and address
" Your Social Security Number
" Maiden name (if applicable)
" Immigration status box
" Date of birth
" Your signature and date
Violations
of the I-9 paperwork requirements will result in penalties
ranging from $110 to $1,100 for each individual whose
documentation was falsified, altered, or omitted from
the form.
Additional information about an employee's responsibilities
in filling out an I-9 form is available from the U.S.

against any individual (other than an alien not authorized

national origin or citizenship status. It is illegal
to discriminate against work eligible individuals. Employers
CANNOT specify which document(s) they will accept from

of a future expiration date may also constitute illegal
discrimination. If you think discrimination has occurred,
