High Ratings for E-Verify

High Ratings for E-Verify. I’m Greg Martin with today’s Fruit Grower Report.

Users of E-Verify, the free Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States, have given the program high marks in a recent customer survey. The announcement was made yesterday by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Lacy Gray has more.

GRAY: More than 1,300 randomly selected employers across the nation who use E-Verify evaluated key program aspects, including registration, the online tutorial, ease of use, technical assistance and customer service. They rated the program as exceptionally high in overall customer satisfaction, with an average score of 86 out of 100 on the American Customer Satisfaction Index scale.Other key survey findings revealed that the overwhelming majority of users were:
Likely to recommend E-Verify to other employers;
Confident in E-Verify’s accuracy; and
Likely to continue using the program.

Thanks Lacy. With E-Verify, almost all employees are automatically confirmed as authorized to work. More than 99 percent of work-authorized employees are automatically confirmed as employment authorized. Employer enrollment in E-Verify has more than doubled since January 2009, with more than 432,000 participating companies representing more than 1.3 million hiring sites.
