A new federal policy by the United States is set to reshape how employers respond to changes in their workers’ immigration status and may leave thousands of immigrant employees vulnerable to abrupt dismissal.
This week, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) introduced a major update to E-Verify, the digital system many employers use to confirm a new hire’s legal ability to work in the United States.
The new “status change report” feature automatically flags employees whose work permits, known as Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), have been revoked after hiring.
