Subject: Important Reminder - New Employees Must Report to HR on First Day!
New federal regulations are tightening the reporting requirements for employers with government contracts. Effective January 15, 2009, these employers, including SDSU Research Foundation, will be required to use the Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to verify that their employees are eligible to work in the U.S.
Employees are not permitted to begin work unless they have proven to SDSURF Human Resources that they are legally eligible to work in this country. Please be sure to send your new employees to the HR department on their very first day of work. If an employee fails to complete his or her paperwork on the first day, you will be asked to send written documentation explaining the delay. If an employer is found to be out of compliance, they could be barred from receiving federal contracts.
You will only be impacted by this new regulation if your new employees fail to check in at Human Resources and complete their new hire paperwork on their first day of work!
All new hire forms are located in the Human Resources department (4th floor, Gateway Building, 5250 Campanile Drive) or can be downloaded from our website: http://www.foundation.sdsu.edu/forms/index.html#hr_hire .
Thank you in advance for helping ensure compliance with this new federal requirement. If you have any questions, please contact Deb Beaulieu, Human Resources Manager at 594-1086 or dbeaulieu@foundation.sdsu.edu.
