The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) legally mandates that United States employers verify the employment eligibility of every person one hires.
Employers are charged with the armative duty to check identity documents of an employee to see if he/she has the authority to work in the United States. An “employee” is “an individual who provides services or labor for an employer for wages or other remuneration.”
