Indiana Adds E-Verify Requirements for Contractors Working on Public Works Projects: Employment Law Manual and Legal Timetable Updated

Authors: Melissa A. Silver and David B. Weisenfeld, XpertHR Legal Editors

Effective July 1, 2015, a contractor for Indiana public works projects will be required to submit the E-Verify case verification number for each individual who is required to be verified to the Indiana public agency allowing the contract for the public works project, before work begins on the project. Indiana state agencies and local governments as well as their contractors are already required to use E-Verify.

As a result of this development, the Indiana Immigration, Form I-9 and Work Visas and Preemployment Screening and Testing sections of the Employment Law Manual have been updated. In addition, a Legal Timetable entry has been added.
