Smith, Contractor, ABC Company). When contractor employees require access to a government computer, the contractor employee shall be required to obtain a Common Access Card. To do so, the contractor employee shall request a CAC Card through the COR. NOTE: The government issued CAC is the property of the U.S. Government and shall be returned to the COR upon expiration of the contract, replacement or termination of the contract employee (CAC card must be turned in to the COR on contractor employee's last day of employment).

Unauthorized possession of the CAC can be prosecuted criminally under section 701, title 18, United States Code.

All contractor employees shall conduct official communication using Government-owned or provided e-mail, networks, websites, systems, and devices. The use of commercial ISP e-mail accounts or personal e-mail accounts to conduct official communication is prohibited. Remote access / telework technology may be leveraged to ensure compliance with these requirements. Contractor employees are prohibited from using Army-assigned, AKO, and other official e-mail addresses for unofficial business affiliations. Personnel shall not provide official e-mail addresses to businesses, affiliated organizations, or online retailers; unless those entities are known by personnel to be legitimately engaging in official business.

1.6.6.15 Eligibility Verification for Employment: E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information from an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to data from U.S. Department of Homeland

Security and Social Security Administration records to confirm employment eligibility. The U.S. Department of

Homeland Security is working to stop unauthorized employment. By using E-Verify to determine the employment eligibility of their employees, companies become part of the solution in addressing this problem. All U.S. employers must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens. On the form, the employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity document(s) an employee presents to determine whether the document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the individual and record the document information on the Form I-9. The list of acceptable documents can be found on the last page of the form. E-Verify is mandatory for employers with federal contracts or subcontracts that contain the Federal Acquisition Regulation E-Verify clause.
