Coastal Steel and Acoustics became the first company in South Carolina to sign an IMAGE agreement (Immigration and Customs Enforcement Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers), the agency announced. By signing the agreement, the company:
- will receive agency-provided training and education on fraudulent document detection, as well as on proper hiring and anti-discrimination procedures;
- can use E-Verify, the federal electronic employee verification system, and the Social Security Number Verification Service; and
- can become “IMAGE certified” by following the Department of Homeland Security’s Best Employment Practices.
IMAGE was initiated in 2007 to combat unlawful employment and reduce vulnerabilities that help illegal immigrants gain employment in the United States.
