Tennessee Lawful Employment Act
On June 7, 2011, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam signed a new and sweeping immigration-related law into effect – the Tennessee Lawful Employment Act. This law changes the manner in which employers are required, under state law, to ensure its workforce is documented as U.S. citizens or lawful workers who are not U.S. citizens. It represents an effort by the State of Tennessee to monitor the immigration status of foreign workers and to curb employer use of undocumented workers. In short, the law requires all employers with more than five workers to either keep copies of certain I-9 documents or otherwise to enroll in and use the federal E-Verify database.
Please see the attached summary of the Act for your review, and feel free to call our office for assistance in complying with this new law.
Yours truly,
Linda Rose, Cheryl Williams, Milen Saev, and Rose Paxtor Hernandez
