10. Copyright © 2009 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP Trends in Worksite Enforcement: E-Verify and Federal Contractors Federal Contractors will need to use E-Verify system to confirm that all new hires and existing employees directly working on federal contracts are authorized to work in the United States as of September 8, 2009 2 categories of employees must be verified: - New Hires- All new employees, following completion of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 - Existing employees working on the contract- hired after Nov. 6, 1986 Employees directly performing work in the U.S. under a contract that includes the clause committing the contractor to use E-Verify Does not include employees who normally perform support work, such as indirect or overhead functions, and who do not perform any substantial duties under the contract Amendment to DHS Appropriations Bill (7/8/09) would make E- Verify mandatory for all employees of federal contractors - No exemptions

Copyright © 2009 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP E-Verify: Timing of the Rule Federal contractors and subcontractors will be required to begin using E-Verify system starting Sept. 8, 2009 - Applies to federal contracts awarded after Sept. 8, 2009 - DOD/GSA/NASA will include a clause committing government contractors to use E-Verify Companies awarded a contract with the federal government will be required to enroll in E-Verify within 30 days of the contract award date - Will have to sign MOU - Will have to take E-Verify tutorial

12. Copyright © 2009 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP E-Verify: How to Prepare Do you have any qualifying federal government contracts or subcontracts? Determine who will be responsible for identifying and verifying existing employees assigned to contracts. Assess whether your I-9 Forms are in order and consider conducting an audit to determine whether new I-9 Forms will be needed or if should be updated. Determine who will be responsible for overseeing compliance and handling tentative non- confirmations.

13. Copyright © 2009 Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP E-Verify: How to Prepare Remember: you cannot begin to E-Verify existing employees prior to contractual obligation taking effect and registration in E-Verify as federal contractor Federal contractor rule obligations flow from the contract - Must wait until existing contracts are modified to include the language - Or until new contracts are entered into that contain the language
