Get Guidance on How to Enroll and Initiate the Verification Process to Protect your Organization from Lost Revenue!

All federal contracts awarded after September 8, 2009 are subject to mandatory new  E-Verification requirements for certain employees and independent contractors.  The new regulations were designed to improve accuracy of wage and tax reporting and to guarantee a legal workforce on all federal projects. Failure to comply could result in suspension or debarment, adverse performance assessment and termination for default and damages.

If you work on government projects, are you familiar with the new requirements and have you made the necessary changes to your business processes?  This seminar will save you time by distilling the applicable regulations, executive orders and agency guidance to key requirements necessary to successfully and efficiently enroll in E-Verify and begin the verification process for subject employees.  Some of the issues that will be covered include the following:

• How to enroll and initiate the verification process
• The most controversial and misunderstood parts of the new rules
• The professed benefit of E-Verify
• Detailed explanation of deadlines for verification
• How the changes will flow down to subcontractors
• Why prime and sub-contractors should work together to ensure compliance
• If you need to E-Verify self-employed persons and independent contractors
• How to deal with existing contracts and employees
• Money allocated for E-verify over the next three years as part of the Department of Homeland Security appropriations package that was signed by Obama last month
• AND MUCH, MUCH MORE!

This recorded webinar will offer guidance to contractors, subcontractors, construction managers and other parties that work on federal government construction projects.  Whether you are already enrolled in E-Verify in anticipation of a contract award, but have not yet verified employees or if you’re already enrolled and familiar with the verification process, this webinar will reinforce existing rules and will cover the option of verifying all employees versus only those employees assigned to federal contract work.

Learn what you and every member of your firm must be aware of in complying with the new 
e-verify regulations!
