The South Carolina legislature has amended the South Carolina “Illegal Aliens and Private Employment” law to require that every employer verify their new hires through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system beginning January 1, 2012. Employers who fail to comply can lose the right to operate their businesses. The South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (LLR) is charged with conducting random audits of employers to assure compliance.
