Utah Code 63G-12 requires private employers with 15 or more workers to use the federal E-Verify system or equivalent for new hires, with Salt Lake City employers subject to state law without local exemption.
Utah's Private Employer Verification Act (UT 63G-12-301) requires employers with 15 or more employees to verify work eligibility through E-Verify or another federally approved program. Smaller employers under 15 workers are exempt but may use E-Verify voluntarily. The state contractor law (UT 63G-12-302) extends mandatory E-Verify to all state and local government contractors regardless of size. Salt Lake City as a public employer uses E-Verify for all new hires and requires it of contractors. Penalties for non-compliance include possible business license suspension. Federal I-9 documentation requirements apply to all employers regardless of size. Enforcement is rare but available.
Failing to use E-Verify when required, accepting fraudulent documents, or knowingly hiring unauthorized workers triggers state penalties, federal fines, and possible criminal charges.
