Document Authentication for HR Departments
Validate job applicant’s IDs before hiring them.
Reduce ID fraud, enhance security and improve workplace safety.
Today as more and more states are passing laws that move the burden of hiring illegal residents back to the employer, employers need to know who they are hiring. They have a duty to their shareholders, stakeholders and co-workers to keep everyone as safe as possible as well as comply with the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), which requires employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all employees hired. Hiring illegal residents can cost companies fines (some states are adding fines in excess of $25,000 for each illegal resident hired) and embarrassment if violations are reported to the press.
Currently, job applicants may present a fake ID with a real Social Security number to gain un-lawful employment. Without the proper device to authenticate that the ID is real, employers are hiring these illegal applicants solely because the Social Security number is real, not whether or not that Social Security number is actually theirs.
Solution
L-1’s solution for HR personnel is a reliable, simple way to help comply with laws surrounding the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) and to know that the potential employee is legal to work in the United States. Our solution supports verification and authentication of claimed identities by use of document authentication to verify potential employee’s ID documents (DL/ID, Green card, Passport).
With L-1, employers can now show due diligence by associating claimed identity with documents presented at hiring in the applicant screening process and can demonstrate compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), which requires employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all employees hired and can help eliminate the burden of inadvertently accepting false ID documents as legitimate.
