This manual provides a thorough, but straightforward, discussion of the employment verification rules, procedures, ramifications and related topics that will clarify the entire process for documenting employee eligibility under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). Examples and advice on what approach to take in various situations are included. The appendix contains samples of the most common documents with which hiring managers need to be familiar, and common application forms. The manual provides answers to most substantive and procedural issues that will arise, ensuring employers are in compliance with IRCA requirements and, thereby, avoiding the possible imposition of substantial fines.
