Are there any special procedures for employers of certain foreign nationals?

Yes, there are special procedures for employers of certain foreign nationals in Tennessee. Most of the procedures are related to the I-9 form, which is an employment eligibility form that must be completed by the employer and the foreign national worker. The employer must verify the identity and employment authorization of the foreign national and ensure that the employee is legally eligible to work in the United States. In addition to the I-9, employers of certain foreign nationals must also complete the E-Verify system. This system is designed to ensure that employers are not hiring individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States. A valid work permit or other documentation must be presented to prove eligibility for employment. Employers of foreign nationals must also verify that employees are not subject to any restrictions or sanctions that would prohibit them from working in Tennessee. Employers must also inform the employee of the immigration laws that affect their employment, and make sure that they understand them. Finally, employers must keep accurate records of the foreign national’s employment, including their start dates and any changes in immigration status. It is also important for employers to monitor any changes in immigration laws, as they may affect the eligibility of the employee. Employers should also maintain contact with their immigration attorney to stay informed about any updates in the immigration laws.
