E-Verify: Niagara University now participates in the E-Verify program effective Dec. 15, 2015.
E-Verify is a useful tool to ensure that an employer’s hiring practices are in compliance with immigration regulations. Consistent with US immigration regulations, new hires are required to present to the university, within three days of hire, proof supporting their eligibility to work in the United States. Currently all new hires are required to fill out and provide identification for the I-9 form, this has not changed. This information is then submitted to E-Verify. There are not extra steps for our new hires but it is essential that we are compliant with this regulation. Failure to provide original documents to the university, within three days of working, prevents a new hire from working. If you have any questions regarding E-Verify, please contact Human Resources.
