E-Verify for Employers in South Carolina and Mississippi
June 25, 2009
An E-Alert from Ogletree Deakins, one of America’s three largest labor and employment law firms:
- Starting July 1, 2009, South Carolina employers with 100 or more employees must perform a special verification for newly-hired employees. These employers will be required either to use E-Verify or review a qualifying driver’s license. State contractors with 500 or more employees became subject to the same requirements on January 1, 2009 (see Ogletree Deakins’ June 4, 2008 E-Alert for more information on the law).
- The Mississippi Employment Protection Act (S.B. 2988) phases in a requirement on employers to participate in E-Verify. On July 1, 2008, all Mississippi agencies and political subdivisions, all public contractors, and private employers with 250 or more employees became subject to the E-Verify requirement. On July 1, 2009, private employers with 100 or more employees will also become subject to the requirement (see Ogletree Deakins’ April 4, 2008 E-Alert for a complete review of the Mississippi law).

Hiring Managers Are Checking You Out
June 10, 2009
According to a Jump Start Social Media survey that polled 100 hiring managers at small, mid-sized and large companies:
Three-quarters of hiring managers check LinkedIn to research the credentials of job candidates. Of the hiring managers surveyed, 75% use LinkedIn, 48% use Facebook, and 26% use Twitter to research candidates before making a job offer.
“Social media is not only a great networking tool, it’s also a way for employers to perform reference checks on job candidates,” said Veronica Fielding, president of Digital Brand Expressions and its social media service for consumers, Jump Start Social Media. “Because LinkedIn is the most professionally oriented of the three, it tends to attract hiring managers who are doing due diligence.”

A Growing Trend - Data Security and Protection
April 23, 2009
Recognizing the dangers of identity theft in the workplace, New York has joined 28 other states that have enacted laws intended to protect employees from identity theft.
TAKING IT A STEP FURTHER
Earlier this year, a new law went into effect in New York limiting employers’ use of employees’ personal information.
New York Labor Law § 203-d prohibits employers from communicating an employee’s social security number, address, telephone number, personal e-mail address, internet user identification name or password, parent’s surname or driver’s license numbers to the general public. The law also prohibits employers from publicly displaying an employee’s SSN, printing SSNs on identification badges or time cards, or using SSNs to identify employees for licensing purposes.
4 STEPS EMPLOYERS SHOULD TAKE
- Review your company’s use of full or partial SSNs and all other personal identifying information and make sure you are compliant with your state law.
- Draft privacy policies focusing on the use of personal information and specify which individuals should have access to this information.
- Communicate this privacy policy to all employees,with special focus on human resources, loss prevention, recruiting, benefits,and information technology personnel who may have access to identifying information.
- Ask your employee screening provider how they protect employee’s personal information.
