The US Department of Homeland Security's Basic Pilot program is required to verify employment eligibility for all employees hired on or after January 1, 2007, due to legislation passed by the N.C. General Assembly in 2006. This program is required in addition to the I-9 verification process. The requirement applies to all newly hired employees, EPA and SPA, temporary and permanent, including students.
To facilitate this process, the University developed the Employment Eligibility Verification (EEV) tool to allow departments to input I-9 information and forward it to OHR.
