ARTICLE 34
IMMIGRATION REFORM AND CONTROL ACT
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. Nothing
in this Article prohibits the reappointment of an NSF upon compliance with the
requirements of IRCA.
D. 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.
E. 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:
1. be
given to the NSF either by delivery of the notice to the NSF in person, or by
mail with a Proof of Service;
2. state
how the NSF has failed to comply with University requirements implementing
IRCA;
3. 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,
4.
state the effective
date of the action.
