What are possible consequences of using E-Verify incorrectly?

Using E-Verify incorrectly can lead to wrongful dismissals and potential legal challenges. When employers do not follow the proper procedures or misinterpret E-Verify results, they might terminate an employee based on an incorrect assumption about their work eligibility. This action not only jeopardizes the individual's job security but can also expose the employer to legal ramifications, including lawsuits for discrimination or wrongful termination.

Moreover, if an employer fails to verify an employee’s eligibility correctly and then dismisses that employee based on inaccurate information, it could lead to claims that the employer did not act in good faith. Such legal challenges can be costly and damage the employer's reputation. Therefore, proper training and adherence to E-Verify requirements are crucial to minimize risks associated with employment eligibility verification.
