Employment Eligibility and Work Authorization Policy (PA)

Employers with one or more employees are covered under the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), which requires employers to verify their employees' identity and that the employees are authorized to work in the United States.

This Employment Eligibility and Work Authorization Policy lays out the responsibilities of employees and employers as well as rules for enforcement, documentation, and confidentiality. This policy can also be customized for applicable state requirements.

There is a place at the end for the employee to sign, confirming that they have read and understand the policy.

This policy should be reviewed with your employee handbook, and other existing employee policies to ensure there are no inconsistencies. Consult an HR expert if you're unsure of your specific state requirements.
