Frequently Asked Questions

    What is E-Verify?

    E-Verify is a government program that allows companies to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States by comparing their I-9 information with government databases.

    What is the difference between E-Verify and a background check?

    Background checks and E-Verify are actually very different. E-Verify confirms whether someone can legally work in the United States. A background check casts a much wider net and looks at previous employment, criminal history, education credentials, and more.

    What is the difference between an I-9 and E-Verify?

    Form I-9

    • Is mandatory
    • Does not require a social security number
    • Does not require a photo on List B identity documents
    • MUST be used to reverify expired employment authorization

    E-Verify

    • Is voluntary for most employers
    • Does require a social security number
    • Does require a photo on List B identity documents
    • MAY NOT be used to reverify expired employment authorization

    When do you need to start using E-Verify?

    Now. E-Verify is mandatory in 23 states and soon, that number may grow. With Nesco Resource, it’s so easy to start the process. 

    What are the benefits of E-Verify?

    You could potentially shield your business from immigration enforcement raids if you use the E-Verify system in good faith. Having every employee verified shows due diligence to hiring authorized workers. Plus, it streamlines the process from contract hire to full-time employee.

    What are the penalties for hiring unauthorized workers?

    Just a paperwork violation on an I-9 form can cost you between $281 and $2,789 per employee. If you knowingly hire unauthorized workers, first-time penalties range from $698 to $5,579 per employee. Penalties for your third offense range from $8, 369 to $27,894 per employee. Aside from the fines, you can also lose your business license, damage your reputation, and lose government contracts.
