E-Verify is a web-based system that allows enrolled employers to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. E-Verify employers verify the identity and employment eligibility of newly hired employees by electronically matching the information provided by employees on the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, against records available to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Avionté integrates with the E-verify application to accommodate sending employment eligibility information to the Federal government.

Requirements

An Adobe Sign account and an E-Verify account are both needed to complete a document verification process - the Adobe Sign account to collect an I-9 Employment Authorization form from a talent and an E-Verify account to submit the I-9 to the Department of Homeland Security.

Both of these accounts can be arranged with help from your Avionté Strategic Account Executive. 

Users are encouraged to use Aviontés standard I-9 form rather than a custom-made version. Avionté's standard version has been tested and verified within the integration.

Setup

For most users, E-Verify's setup is performed by Avionté's Partnership Activation Team, however, in the event, an Avionté client would like to add users or make changes, the steps are available here. 

Before setup, an Avionté Strategic Account Executive must activate each client's E-Verify license to enable functionality.  

1. In the Recruiter Module, navigate to Admin > Integrations
   
   
2. Click E-Verify's expand  icon. The E-Verify configuration displays. 
   
   
   
   
   
3. Select how users will connect to their E-verify Web Services account.
   
   
   

   Each Avionté user enters their own E-Verify web service account

   With this selection, individual users have their own E-Verify account rather than a shared Employer account. Users enter their E-Verify credentials through the Profile menu's E-Verify option. Individual users can enter their credentials under the Profile menu.

   All Avionté users share a single E-Verify web service account

   With this section, E-Verify credentials will be entered on this page.  If each Avionté employer will have its own unique credentials, place a checkmark in the Each Avionté employer has its own account(s) checkbox as well. If the box is checked, that means that each supplier has its own E-Verify account, with its own set of credentials. If the box is unchecked, then all suppliers are under the same E-Verify account, sharing the same set of credentials.

4. Click Save after a login method has been selected. 
   
   
5. An Employer agent may also sign into E-Verify for verification on behalf of an employer. E-Verify employer agents use E-Verify to confirm the employment eligibility of the employees of other employers or participants. E-Verify employer agents frequently offer E-Verify along with other services, such as background checks, legal assistance, and accounting services. 
   
   

   When a customer enrolls their company with E-Verify, they need to enroll for either a Web Services Employer account or a Web Services Employer Agent Account. Having a Web Services Employer account means that they plan on verifying the employment eligibility of their own employees.  If they have a Web Services Employer account, they will only have to configure the “Web Service Accounts” section and uncheck the “I am working as an employer agent” checkbox. 

   Having a Web Services Employer Agent account means that the company plans on verifying the employment eligibility of their own employees and/or needs to verify employment eligibility on behalf of their client companies. When they enroll with this type of an account, they’d have to setup their client companies with E-verify accounts and they’d be given E-verify company ID’s. Then when configuring E-verify in the Recruiter Module, they would configure the “Web Service Accounts” section for their company, and then for their client companies, enter their E-Verify Client Company ID in the “Employer Agent” section.
   
   
   
   

6. Click Save after employer agent credentials have been entered. E-Verify is now ready to be used when a candidate completes an I-9 form. 

Usage

   1. The I-9 form features lists of acceptable documents demonstrating citizenship.
