Last year, a new law was enacted requiring public and private employers to comply with Florida’s new E-Verify mandates, with Fla. Stat. § 448.095 of the Florida Statutes taking effect on January 1, 2021.  The law makes the use of the web-based E-Verify system, regulated by the Department of Homeland Security, mandatory for all government and public employers. Employers in the State of Florida should be aware of potential required changes to their hiring procedures in 2021.
Which employers are affected?
Pursuant to that statute, every public employer, contractor and subcontractor in the state of Florida is required to enroll in and use the E-Verify system to verify the identity and confirm the eligibility of all new employees.  For purposes of § 448.095, a contractor is a person or entity that has entered into or is attempting to enter into a contract with a public employer to provide labor, supplies, or services to the public employer in exchange for salary, wages, or other remuneration.  A public employer includes any state, regional, county, local or municipal government, public school, community college, or state university.
