Employers are federally mandated to check the citizen status of employees
ALBANY, GA -- Here's the FOX 31 News Facebook Story of the Day: “Should employers be required to make sure all employees are legal U.S. citizens?”
Alice Jenkins, Director of Human Resources for Dougherty County says employers are federally mandated to make sure all employees are legal citizens, or are in the process of becoming U.S. citizens.
Applicants are required to fill out an I-9 form and show at least two forms of identification that verifies their eligibility to work in the U.S.
“Most applicants will use a driver's license and a social security card, however, you could have a visa or other document that indicates that you're legally eligible for work in the united states. And that is a federal requirement,” said Jenkins.
