Can an employer pre-screen a new hire?
A. No. The employer must fill out a Form I-9 on the worker which includes the hire date, before an Employer agent can check the new worker’s work authorization status. However, a job seeker in Arizona and four other states may do a Self Check on their own employment status. However, a job seeker who passes the self check does not not waive the necessity for an employer to still do an E-Verify work authorization check.
