FAQs: Florida Requires Certain Employers to Use Federal E-Verify System to Confirm Employees are Legally Eligible to Work

June 30, 2023 by Lauren Swanson, Andrew M. Gordon

Beginning on July 1, 2023, private employers in Florida with more than 25 employees will be required to use the federal E-Verify system for all new hires in order to verify that newly hired employees are legally authorized to work in the U.S. The 25-employee threshold refers to the total number of company employees, not just those employees who work in Florida. Covered Florida employers must enroll in E-Verify using the E-Verify.gov website and follow the registration process. E-Verify requires the employer to transcribe a new hire’s information from his or her I-9 into E-Verify, which will confirm whether the new hire is authorized to work in the U.S. Employers who do not comply with this new law will be subjected to stiff penalties for noncompliance, including costly daily fines and suspension and/or revocation of state licenses. The penalties for noncompliance will take effect July 1, 2024. More ›
