Part 1 - General Provisions
§ 8-2-124. Electronic Verification Program - Availability - Notice to Employers - Definitions

As with all current employee verification programs, the e-verify program is not one hundred percent accurate, and an employee has recourse available if the employee is legally documented to work in the United States but the employer receives a final notice of nonconfirmation of work eligibility regarding the employee through the e-verify program.
It is unlawful for an employer to:
Hire, recruit, or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States, an alien, knowing the alien is an unauthorized alien; Hire, recruit, or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States, an individual without verifying the employment eligibility status of the individual through completion of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9, or its successor form; Continue to employ an alien in the United States, knowing that the alien is or has become an unauthorized alien; or While using the e-verify program, refuse to hire, discharge, promote, or demote a person, harass a person during the course of employment, or discriminate against a person in matters of compensation, on the basis of the person's disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, national origin, or ancestry, pursuant to section 24-34-402, C.R.S. For more specific information regarding the e-verify program and its requirements and use, employers should consult 8 U.S.C. sec. 1324a.
