Article Title: Vetting E-Verify - Source: QDR Magazine - 10/2/2009

Problems for employers are discussed when social security numbers provided by employees do not match the IRS records and what E-Verify means for employers. - Also of concern for quick-service analysts are the added time, cost, and security liabilities E-Verify might bring. Elizabeth Murray is vice president of human resources and chief legal officer for professional employer organization Modern Business Associates. Several of her clients are quick-service owners seeking help in setting up E-Verify for their businesses. Murray says making E-Verify mandatory could place a technological and financial burden on many quick-service businesses that they are not prepared to handle. “A quick-service restaurant that does not have the needed equipment and space, or that does not have back-office support, could find compliance with E-Verify to be difficult and potentially costly,” Murray says.
