Sacramento and California do not require employers to use the federal E-Verify system. California Labor Code Section 1019.1 actually limits abusive E-Verify use, and AB 450 restricts voluntary employer cooperation with worksite immigration enforcement.
Neither Sacramento nor California compels private employers to enroll in the federal E-Verify employment-eligibility program; only federal contractors and certain states outside California require it. California Labor Code Section 1019.1 prohibits employers from using E-Verify in a manner inconsistent with federal law, including running checks before a job offer. AB 450, codified at Govt. Code Section 7285.1 and Lab. Code Section 90.2, also bars employers from voluntarily allowing ICE access to nonpublic worksites or employee records without a warrant or subpoena. Sacramento has not adopted a local E-Verify rule, consistent with its sanctuary posture under Resolution 2017-100.
Employer violations of AB 450 carry civil penalties of 2,000 to 10,000 dollars per violation, enforced by the California Labor Commissioner. Misuse of E-Verify under Section 1019.1 exposes employers to civil suits and Labor Commissioner orders.
