Florida Statute §448.095, expanded by SB 1718 (2023), requires private employers with 25 or more employees to use the federal E-Verify system on all new hires. Orlando businesses face state audits and license suspension for noncompliance.
Florida Statute §448.095 mandates E-Verify use by all public employers, public contractors, and (under Senate Bill 1718, effective July 2023) private employers with 25 or more employees. Orlando businesses must enroll in the federal E-Verify program through the Department of Homeland Security and verify each new hire's work authorization within three business days of the start date. Companies must retain documentation for at least three years. The Florida Department of Commerce conducts audits and may suspend or revoke business licenses for repeat violations. SB 1718 also imposes employer fines of up to $1,000 per day. Orlando cannot exempt local businesses.
Failing to enroll in E-Verify, skipping verification within three days of hire, or hiring unauthorized workers exposes employers to fines up to $1,000 daily and license suspension.
