On
June 20, 2010, JSA’s contract with the U.S. Department of Energy
was
amended to require use of the Employment Verification or E-Verify
System.<span style=""> </span>E-Verify is an electronic database
operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to verify
employee
identity and work authorization.<span style=""> </span>This
contract
change requires JSA to review the I-9 employment eligibility forms
of
<u>all employees hired after November 6, 1986</u>. Employees hired
on or
before November 6, 1986 are exempt from this government
requirement.</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">To minimize
inconvenience to employees, HR will review documents previously
provided by affected employees and compare them to the new
requirements.<br>
<br>
</span>The I-9 is the form that all U.S. employers must complete and
retain for each individual they hire in the United States. The form
is
required for citizens and non-citizens. Employers are required to
examine the employment eligibility and identity document(s) that
employees present and determine whether the document(s) appear to be
genuine and support the information provided on the I-9 form. <br>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height:
115%;">For
most employees, previously supplied information and documents
will meet
the E-Verify system and government regulation requirements.<span
style=""> </span>However, the new government regulations,
and/or the
limitations of the E-Verify system, will require that JSA
complete a
new I-9 form for some employees.<span style=""> </span>In
these
cases, the employee will receive an email from HR with
instructions to
provide new documentation and/or complete a new form.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height:
115%;">Employees
can read further details about E-Verify on the HR homepage at
the
following URL:</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The HR department
greatly appreciates your time, patience, and cooperation in this
matter. If there are any questions, please contact me or Sue Ewing
