E-Verify for Construction Subcontractors: Who Has to Use It and What the Flow-Down Rules Require

E-Verify confirms an employee's work eligibility against federal records. Federal contractors have to use it by executive order and the FAR E-Verify clause. Some states mandate it for public work or for all employers. The flow-down rules matter: when a GC is required to E-Verify, their subs usually are too, and the contract enforcement mechanism makes compliance part of the payment flow.
