The U.S. roofing industry has long relied on a mobile, labor-intensive workforce that intersects daily with immigration law. Although federal law does not yet compel every private employer to run new hires through E-Verify, the system is mandatory on covered federal projects and increasingly required by several states.
You should become familiar with the principal advantages and risks of E-Verify from a construction law perspective and know how to mitigate exposure while maximizing competitive benefits.
Learn more about how E-Verify works, the system’s strengths and weaknesses, and strategies to help you decrease the chances of running afoul of the law in Professional Roofing’s November article, “A practical assessment.”
Be sure to visit NRCA’s Employer Immigration Resources webpage, which provides resources to help you address issues related to employee immigration status.
