NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS Ecore International and its subsidiaries participate in the E-Verify program. Federal law requires all employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all persons hired to work in the United States. This employer will provide the Social Security Administration (SSA) and/or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with information from each new employee's Form I-9 to confirm work authorization. If, after an applicant has been extended and accepted an offer of employment, the Government cannot confirm that you are authorized to work, this employer is required to provide you written instructions and an opportunity to contact SSA and/or DHS before taking adverse action against you, including withdrawal of the offer of employment or terminating your employment. Employers may not use E-Verify to pre-screen job applicants or to re-verify current employees and may not limit or influence the choice of documents presented for use on the Form I-9. In order to determine whether Form I-9 documentation is valid, this employer may use E-Verify's photo screening tool to match the photograph appearing on some permanent resident and employment authorization cards with the official U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS) photograph.
