Saint Paul does not require private employers to use E-Verify, and Minnesota imposes no statewide mandate either, though city contractors above certain thresholds may need E-Verify under state procurement rules.
Saint Paul has no ordinance requiring private-sector employers to enroll in the federal E-Verify electronic employment-eligibility verification system. Minnesota likewise lacks a statewide mandate. Federal contractors above a certain threshold must use E-Verify under federal acquisition rules, and Minnesota state contracts above $50,000 require certification of legal-status verification under Executive Order 08-01 (still in effect for state procurement). Private Saint Paul businesses retain discretion to enroll voluntarily. All employers must still complete federal Form I-9 within three days of hire under 8 U.S.C. Section 1324a, regardless of E-Verify participation.
Federal I-9 violations carry civil penalties from $272 to $2,701 per first-offense paperwork violation. Knowingly hiring unauthorized workers triggers escalating per-worker fines and potential criminal charges.
