Fast Facts:
*         Business owners are invited to learn about E-Verify, the free and easy-to-use service that lets employers verify the employment eligibility of new employees. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is working to stop unauthorized employment. By using E-Verify to determine the employment eligibility of their employees, business owners can become part of the solution in addressing this problem since employment eligibility verification is good business and it's the law.

*         This webinar will cover topics such as how E-Verify works, highlights and enhancements, employer responsibilities, how to enroll, demonstration of the program, and form I-9 information.
