At the District 3 woodshed session held in McAlester, Ed Phillips, Buford

White Lumber Co.. Shawnee, shared an interesting way to eliminate a lot of the effort involved with complying with the immigration laws.

These laws require every new hire to prove he is a U.S. Citizen or legal resident with the burden for this recordkeeping on the emPloYer.

Ed pointed out that his firm now requires job applicans to submit applications through the local branch of the Oklahoma State Unemployment Security Commission. The benefit is that the employer qtn concentrate on hiring the right applicant, letting the commission screen and c€rtify the applicants.

The commission has Procedures to certify that everyone applyinS, for benefits complies with the new law. After rhe employer notifies the Unemployment Commission that one of their applicants has been hired, he is sent a ctrtificate for his files which states that the new employee complies with the immigration law.
