Virginia Code Section 40.1-11.5 requires state agencies and certain public contractors to use the federal E-Verify system. Richmond follows state law for city contracts above statutory thresholds; private employers face no city mandate.
Virginia Code Section 40.1-11.5 mandates that state agencies and public bodies use the federal E-Verify electronic employment verification system for new hires, and that contractors with state agency contracts above $50,000 enroll in E-Verify. Richmond, as a Virginia city, applies these requirements when entering qualifying contracts for construction, services, or goods. Private Richmond employers operating in Scott's Addition, Manchester, or the Arts District are not required by city ordinance to use E-Verify, though many enroll voluntarily. Federal Form I-9 verification remains mandatory for all employers nationwide.
Public contractors failing to enroll in E-Verify under Section 40.1-11.5 risk contract termination, debarment from future state work, and civil penalties pursued by the Attorney General.
