This SWA participates in E-Verify and will provide employee information to the SSA and DHS to confirm work authorization. The SWA is required to provide written instructions and an opportunity to contact these agencies before taking adverse action if work authorization cannot be confirmed. The SWA and employers may not re-verify current employees or limit document choice. Employees who believe their rights have been violated should contact the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices.
