E-Verify for Employers in South Carolina and Mississippi

June 25, 2009 By Chris Miller

alert

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).

Testimonials

I worked with Chris for our background checks for YWCA Minneapolis and he was AMAZING. He is very responsive and will put his customers first. He will send me follow-up emails to ensure that I have completed everything on my end. He is open to feedback and will work his hardest to make sure my needs were fulfilled. Chris has definitely taught me so much regarding background checks and the laws surrounding that and made it really fun. Chris is trustworthy, friendly, and has strong work ethics. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a fast and responsive background check vendor. Thank you Chris!
