Immigration Reform and Control Act (I-9)
In compliance with the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), as amended, the Company is committed to employing only individuals who are authorized to work in the United States.
Each new employee, as a condition of employment, must complete the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 and present original documentation establishing identity and employment eligibility. The Form I-9 must be completed on the first day of employment, and supporting documentation must be presented within three business days of the date employment begins.
If an employee is authorized to work in the United States for a limited period of time, the employee must submit proof of renewed employment eligibility before that authorization expires in order to remain employed by the Company.
E-Verify
Under Florida Statutes Section 448.095, private employers in Florida with 25 or more employees are required to use the federal E-Verify system to verify the employment eligibility of each new employee. The Company complies with this requirement and will submit Form I-9 information to E-Verify within three business days after a new employee's first day of work for pay. If E-Verify returns a Tentative Nonconfirmation, the employee will be notified promptly and given the opportunity to contest it before any employment action is taken. The Company will not take adverse action based on an unresolved Tentative Nonconfirmation.
The Company does not discriminate based on national origin or citizenship status. The Company will not request specific documents beyond those required by Form I-9, and will accept any combination of documents that satisfies the Form I-9 requirements.
