MAINTAINING A LEGAL WORK FORCE

Friday, November 4th The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce Presents: MAINTAINING A LEGAL WORK FORCE

The past State Legislative session bills were filed on mandating E-Verify (electronic  employment eligibility verification) for all employers in the State of Florida with the  intent to curtail the hiring of illegal workers - it failed.   There are indications that  similar bills may resurface in the upcoming State session and there is legislation   pending in Congress to make it a requirement nationwide.  Arizona and other states  have passed legislation making it mandatory for employers and are currently mandatory for state contractors in Florida.  E-Verify is currently a voluntary program - with the  exception of the states that have mandates for employers to use it. E-Verify is not without controversy and there are employers who do not like it as it has  its limitations and shortcomings. Should E-Verify be mandated at the State or Federal  level, it will have greater implications for small businesses that do not have the IT  resources such as high speed internet, etc. The Greater Miami Chamber has not endorse E-Verify but we are presenting this  program for employers to educate themselves, ask questions, etc as this has the  potential of becoming a reality in the future.          Click Here to Register
