E-Verify mandate: A 'pain in the neck' for Main Street

[Phentex]

4. I will answer myself after googling...

I always forget the definition of small business could mean hundreds/thousands of employees.

Googling stated this:

$1,254 to $24,422: The average first-year startup costs for running E-Verify per small business. The average cost for running E-Verify per small business after the first year is $435. First-year costs include the cost to take time from work to sign the appropriate memorandum of understanding with the government, review contracts and the 80-page field guide, and start verifying all of your employees. From then on employers only have to put new hires through the system.

The cost to our company: about an hour's time. In any case, we did not have to buy any equipment or software.
