Contractors & Builders Takes the Hassle out of Arizona’s E-Verify Legislation

E-Verify designated agent serves Arizona's construction industry.

Phoenix, Ariz. (PRWEB) April 8, 2008 — Contractors & Builders (C&B), a staffing firm focused exclusively on the construction industry, recently stepped up to help ease the pain associated with the newly enacted E-Verify procedure in Arizona. As a designated agent for its clients, C&B has a staff that’s thoroughly trained in the E-Verify process to ensure Form I-9 compliance for workers placed in positions with C&B clients.

Although the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify program has been available to companies nationwide for some time (formerly known as the Basic Pilot/Employment Eligibility Verification Program), new legislation in effect as of January 2008 (House Bill 2779) mandates all employers in Arizona are required to enroll in the E-Verify program.

However, the potential resource drain Arizona businesses now face from having to train staff in E-Verify is massive. C&B wants to help ease the transition by taking care of all details.

As a result, the consequences are severe for Arizona businesses employing workers not authorized to work in the United States. Penalties include suspension or revocation of the employer’s business license and up to five years probation.

“We’re supportive of the new legislation because Contractors & Builders has always taken steps necessary to ensure workers are I-9 compliant,” says Dion Trieb, Southwestern regional vice president of C&B. “However, the potential resource drain Arizona businesses now face from having to train staff in E-Verify is massive. C&B wants to help ease the transition by taking care of all details.”

When enlisting C&B as a designated agent for E-Verify, or when C&B dispatches its own employees to assist client labor needs, clients can be confident that C&B’s E-Verify procedure has been performed accurately, completely and in compliance with applicable federal and Arizona legal requirements.

Additionally, if C&B clients would prefer to learn the E-Verify procedure themselves rather than using a designated agent, C&B offers consultation services to assist and train clients to effectively utilize the E-Verify system.
