From staff reports
The S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation has created a Web site to help employers comply with the state’s new immigration law.

The new law orders LLR to investigate complaints against companies who are accused of hiring illegal immigrants. The department also has been directed to randomly audit businesses to look over their files that verify employees’ legal status.

Under the law passed this year, businesses must require employees to show an S.C. driver’s license or use a federal database to double check names and social security numbers.

Businesses with 100 or more employees must comply by July1, 2009 and all other businesses must follow the law by July 1, 2010.

The new Web site is www.llr.state.sc.us/immigration. There, the public can study the new law, get updates on regulations, read frequently asked questions and learn about future training programs.
