<br />verify the employment eligibility of all new public employees through the U.S. Department of
<br />Homeland Security's E-Verify System, and further provides that a public employer may not enter
<br />into a contract unless each party to the contract registers with and uses the E-Verify system.
<br />Florida Statute 448.095 further provides that if a contractor enters into a contract with a
<br />subcontractor, the subcontractor must provide the contractor with an affidavit stating that the
<br />subcontractor does not employ, contract with, or subcontract with an unauthorized alien.
<br />In accordance with Florida Statute 448.095, Contractor is required to verify employee eligibility
<br />using the E-Verify system for all existing and new employees hired by Contractor during the
<br />contract term. Further, Contractor must also require and maintain the statutorily required affidavit
<br />of its subcontractors. It is the responsibility of Contractor to ensure compliance with E-Verify
<br />requirements (as applicable). To enroll in E-Verify, employers should visit the E-Verify website
