FSAR 4G52.222-701 - Employment of Eligible Workers (DEC 1999)

Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 USC 1324a) makes it unlawful for an employer to hire unauthorized aliens. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), now the United States Citizen and Immigration Services, established the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form, as the document to be used for employment eligibility verification (8 CFR 274a).

The contractor is required to:

1. Have all employees complete and sign the I-9 Form to certify that they are eligible for employment;

2. Examine documents presented by the employee and ensure the documents appear to be genuine and related to the individual;

3. Record information about the documents on the form, and complete the certification portion of the form;

4. Retain the form for 3 years, or 1 year past the end of employment of the individual, whichever is longer.

It is illegal to discriminate against any individual (other than a citizen of another country who is not authorized to work in the United States) in hiring, discharging, or recruiting because of that individual's national origin or citizenship status.

Compliance with Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a) is a material condition of the contract. If the contractor employs unauthorized workers during contract performance in violation of section 274A, the Government may terminate the contract, in addition to other remedies or penalties prescribed by law.

For further information on the requirements of the Act, contractors should contact the Employer and Labor Relations Officer of their local United States Citizen and Immigration Services office.

(c) Automobile Liability. The Contractor shall have automobile liability insurance written on a comprehensive form of policy.
