Immigration and Employment

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) requires all employers to examine documents that prove a person has the right to work in the United States. To verify the identity and employment eligibility of a new employee, both the applicant and the employer must complete a form (Form I-9) under oath and subject to the penalties of perjury. The employer must keep that form and must make it available upon notice to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). As with all laws, this one may be amended, and the regulations implementing it may change, as well.
