Letters of appointment/reappointment or other appropriate appointment documents
will include a statement that the individual must provide verification of employment
eligibility pursuant to University requirements established in accordance with the
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). Letters of appointment/reappointment
will also include notification of any proposed University assistance in
complying with IRCA. The offer of the appointment, continued eligibility to complete
the appointment term and the pay will be contingent on compliance with these
requirements.
All appointments/reappointments will be contingent upon the employee's completion
of an I-9 form and provision of the employment eligibility documents required by the
University to comply with IRCA. Failure to provide the necessary documentation
within the required time limitations or failure to remain eligible will constitute grounds
for release from employment for failure to comply with University requirements
implementing the IRCA.
Nothing in this Article prohibits the reappointment of an NSF upon compliance with
the requirements of IRCA.
Any employment relationship which is terminated for failure to comply with the
requirements set forth herein will not be subject to Article 30 - Discipline and
Dismissal.
When the University intends to release an NSF for failure to comply with University
requirements implementing the provisions of IRCA, the NSF shall be given written
notice of the intent to release.
The notice shall:
be given to the NSF either by delivery of the notice to the NSF in person, or
by mail with a Proof of Service;
state how the NSF has failed to comply with University requirements
implementing IRCA;
state that the NSF has the right to respond, and to whom, within ten (10)
calendar days from the date of issuance of such notice of intent, either orally
or in writing; and,
state the effective date of the action.
The University will consider any response from the NSF. If the NSF can provide the
University with proof of complete compliance with University requirements
implementing IRCA, the University will withdraw the letter of intent.
If no response is received by the University or the NSF does not comply with
University requirements implementing IRCA, the NSF will be released on the date
set forth in the letter of intent to release.
