ACIP, SHRM, U.S. Chamber Joint Letter of Support for HR 2885

Thu, 09/22/2011
Dear Chairman Smith:
 
On behalf of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Council on International Personnel (ACIP), we are writing in support of H.R. 2885, The Legal Workforce Act, which creates a fully integrated, federal, electronic employment verification system. As currently constructed, The Legal Workforce Act, strikes an appropriate balance between a mandatory, federal system and the employer’s role in the employment verification process. We urge members of the Judiciary Committee to support H.R.2885 and reject any amendments that would undermine this legislation.

Dear Chairman Smith: 
 
On behalf of the American Council on International Personnel (ACIP), I am writing in support of the Legal Workforce Act (H.R. 2885), which would create a uniform federal electronic employment eligibility verification system.  We believe this reform will remove much of the current confusion surrounding employment verification.
