E-Verify - August 2011

E-Verify is required of any business doing business with state or local governments in Louisiana and they must continue using the system through the term of the contract.

In a separate law, it is required that all employers verify that employees are legally able to work in the United States. Employers must choose to either use E-Verify or check multiple forms of identification from the new hire, which must be kept on file. The bill states that employers that chose to use E-Verify to check the status of new hires have acted in "good faith" and are protected from prosecution.
E-Verify is a separate poster available for free download in our Specialty Poster section and is NOT included on the LA All-In-One poster. You must post an E-Verify Participation poster and a Right to Work notice. Both posters are required to be posted in English and Spanish.

Minor Labor Law - August 2011

Louisiana revised their Minor Labor Law Placard to specify that minors may not work more than 40 hours in any one week between June 1st and Labor Day; previously the text read “in any one week”. The time period during which minors under 16 may work until 9 pm was also revised; now between June 1st and Labor Day while the previous text implied any non-school day.

Earned Income Credit - January 2011

Louisiana has released a new version of the EIC notice for 2011. The income limits have been updated.
