Common use of COMPLIANCE WITH E-VERIFY PROGRAM Clause in Contracts

COMPLIANCE WITH E-VERIFY PROGRAM. Pursuant to IC 22-5-1.7, the parties shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility status of all newly hired employees of each party through the E-Verify Program (“Program”). The parties are not required to verify the work eligibility status of all newly hired employees through the Program if the Program no longer exists. Each party and its subcontractors shall not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien or retain an employee or contract with a person that a party or its subcontractor subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien. If a party violates this Section, the non-defaulting party shall require the other party to remedy the violation not later than thirty (30) days after notifying the party. If a party fails to remedy the violation within the thirty (30) day period, the other shall terminate the contract for breach of contract. Pursuant to IC 22-5-1.7 a fully executed affidavit in the form attached hereto as Appendix IV affirming that each party does not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien and confirming the party’s enrollment in the Program, unless the Program no longer exists, shall be filed with the other party prior to the execution of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be deemed fully executed until such affidavit is filed with each party. If a party terminates the Agreement, the other party shall, in addition to any other contractual remedies, be liable to the other party for actual damages. There is a rebuttable presumption that the parties did not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien if a party verified the work eligibility status of the employee through the Program.
