A North Carolina law requiring employers to verify their workers legal status is beginning to roll out, the Winston-Salem Journal reports.
The free online system is operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and is in addition to the I-9 form each employee must complete when hired.
Federal contractors have been required to use the system since 2009 and the state passed a law in 2011 requiring private employers to begin using it.
Companies with more than 500 employers had to comply beginning Oct. 1, while the law will roll out to smaller companies throughout the next year.
