6 Miss. Code. R. 1-22.13
A business is required to ensure compliance with the Mississippi Employment Protection Act ("MEPA"), Miss. Code. Ann. § 71-11-3et seq., and must ensure that the entity registers and participates in the status verification system for all newly hired employees. Under MEPA, the term "employee" means any person that is hired to perform work within the State of Mississippi. As used in MEPA, "status verification system" means the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act of 1996 that is operated by the United States Department of Homeland Security, also known as the E-Verify Program, or any other successor electronic verification system replacing the E-Verify Program. The business must maintain records of such compliance and, upon request of the State of Mississippi and approval of the Social Security Administration or Department of Homeland Security, where required, to provide a copy of each such verification to the State. Any person assigned to perform services must meet the employment eligibility requirements of all federal and state immigration laws. Any breach may subject the business to the following:
Compliance with the equal pay provisions of the Federal Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the fair pay provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is required for any entity applying for a job-based incentive authorized by Mississippi Code.
