Costco uses E-Verify Nationwide to Check Employees

Costco Wholesale , the nation’s largest warehouse retailer, has adopted the use of E-Verify to check all prospective new hires. The multi-billion dollar global chain has been using the free government online verification system nationwide since March 2010.

Costco posts the official E-Verify poster (left) inside all their stores near the Member Services counter to warn any illegal aliens thinking of applying for a job there that will be rejected. They also clearly announce their nationwide participation in E-Verify on the employment page on their website.

Costco has 10 stores in San Diego County, 118 total in California, and 424 stores nationwide. Costco is a major employer in the U.S. with over 110,000 employees.

Sam’s Club, the nation’s second largest big box store, does not use E-Verify in their hiring practices. Sam’s Club is owned by Walmart and has 33 stores in California.

After Arizona passed their mandatory E-Verify law several years ago, which requires all employers in that state to check their new employees through the Homeland Security database, Costco decided to be pro-active and adopt the system at all their stores and offices nationwide.

If and when Congress passes a bill to make E-Verify mandatory for all employers in the U.S., forward-looking companies like Costco will already be in compliance. At least one federal bill mandating E-Verify has been introduced this year, plus numerous states have bills and laws in various stages of approval.

According to Shawna Wilson at Costco's Corporate Headquarters near Seattle, the system has been running smoothly for 14 months with no problems or complaints. “Costco is proud to be a major corporate participant in the E-Verify program and help put American workers back to workâ€

While returning an item at Costco some months back I noticed the sign stating they use E-Verify, was pleased to see such a prominent sign there.

Great news and I will be sending them a email to thank them.

A true positive note to see this company uses E-Verify. There should be a website that recognizes companies who will use E-Verify and encourage people to buy or use products from thos companies.

Here's how to find companies that use E-Verify!!!
