E-Verify allows participating Employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their newly hired Employees. You must have an E-Verify Web Services account in order to integrate E-Verify with an R365 Hire account. Once an E-Verify account is set up, contact R365 Support with the details about the account and, upon integration, begin verifying each New Hire's employment.
To use E-Verify, Employers must:
- Follow E-Verify procedures for each newly hired Employee while enrolled/participating in E-Verify
- Notify each Job Applicant of E-Verify participation
- Clearly display the 'Notice of E-Verify Participation' and 'Right to Work' posters in all languages supplied by DHS
- Complete Form I-9, or Employment Eligibility Verification, for each newly hired Employee before creating a case in E-Verify
- Ensure that all Form I-9 List B identity documents have a photo
Setting Up E-Verify
To set up E-Verify after enrolling in E-Verify, follow the steps below.
- Enroll in E-Verify by following the instructions provided
- Log into E-Verify. If you see a 'Web Services' tab, click it and skip to Step 5
- Re-enroll with E-Verify and answer 'yes' to the question: 'Does your Company plan to develop its own software to use E-Verify?'
- Click on the 'Web Services' tab in the navigation menu
- Notify R365 Support that your Organization is enrolled so that we can integrate E-Verify with the account. Ensure that the following information is included:
- Subject - Enter 'Setting up E-Verify for R365 Hire'
- Database - The R365 Hire link assigned to your Organization
- Category - Operations
- Description- Include the following items:
- The E-Verify Company Name - Navigate to 'Company' in the navigation menu and then 'Company Profile' to view the name as it appears in E-Verify
- Employer Account Company ID - Located in the upper, right corner next to the Username/Admin User Id
- EIN - The Employer Identification Number or Federal Tax Identification Number found on tax forms
- The E-Verify Program Admin User ID - Located in the upper, right corner of the E-Verify Web Services screen
- The Program Administrator Contact Information including the following:
- Name
- E-mail Address
- Phone number
- The E-Verify Company Name - Navigate to 'Company' in the navigation menu and then 'Company Profile' to view the name as it appears in E-Verify
- Requester - A reliable Email Address for the User placing the request
- R365 Support will contact the User requesting a username and password from E-Verify on the Organization's behalf (this will not replace the username and password on the main account). R365 will email instructions from E-Verify to set up a password in the account under that 'Web Services' tab.
- Once a password is set up, go to the E-Verify form in the Onboarding module and click 'Enable'. Input the username and password and hit save
- Create a Manager Checklist and add the E-Verify form to it and add it to the Onboarding process. This will redirect the Manager to the E-Verify Manager Checklist after completing the I-9 to start verifying the Employee
- Employees can now hire new Employees!
E-Verify Process within R365 Hire
Once an Applicant is hired, they will be prompted to complete their New Hire paperwork as usual. These are the steps for the E-Verify process:
- The New Hire completes their Form I-9 in Onboarding
- The 'Submit to E-Verify' form is automatically generated on the Manager Checklist after both the Employee and Manager side of the Form I-9 is complete
- The form will be pre-populated with the New Hire's information. The Manager needs to review the details and then submit the task. In most cases, the Employee will be marked as 'Employment Authorized' within a few seconds
- If an error occurs, continue to the next section below
