Common use of Employee Eligibility Clause in Contracts

Employee Eligibility. Effective January 1, 2021, Contractor is required to use the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system to verify the employment eligibility of all employees used by the Contractor under this Contract, pursuant to Section 448.095, F.S. Also, the Contractor shall include in related subcontracts, if authorized under this Contract, a requirement that subcontractors performing work or providing services pursuant to this Contract utilize the E-Verify system to verify employment eligibility of all employees used by the subcontractor for the performance of the Work. The subcontractor must provide the Contractor with an affidavit stating that the subcontractor does not employ, contract with, or subcontract with an unauthorized alien. The Contractor shall maintain a copy of such affidavit for the duration of the Contract. If the Department has a good faith belief that a subcontractor knowingly violated §448.095(1), F.S. and notifies the Contractor of such, but the Contractor otherwise complied with this statute, the Contractor shall immediately terminate the contract with the subcontractor.
