Employers confused and overwhelmed by the new "E-Verify" employment eligibility system may want to take advantage of some upcoming seminars on the topic. The Essential Worker Immigration Coalition (EWIC), of which SAF is a member, has announced three briefings around the country for business owners. The briefings will allow business owners to meet representatives from the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice regarding worksite enforcement issues and the "E-Verify" electronic employment eligibility system. The seminars will be held in Chicago on Jan. 29; in Santa Monica, Calif., on Feb. 5; and in Atlanta on Feb. 22.

Interested SAF members should RSVP to Nancy Miller at MILLERNA@gtlaw.com. The deadline is today for the briefing in Chicago; Feb. 1 for the briefing in Santa Monica; and Feb. 20 for the briefing in Atlanta. For more information, contact SAF's Jeanne Ramsay, jramsay@safnow.org.
