Walmart Worker Verification (WV) Program for Contractors

Contractors working with Walmart may be required to comply with Walmart’s strict Worker Verification (WV) Program as part of their Compliance and Performance Standards. This program is designed to ensure that every worker on a Walmart site is authorized to work in the U.S. and has been properly documented before entering the project site. Non-compliance can delay the project or jeopardize your contract. If your company needs an independent third party Verifier or Auditor to assist with meeting your compliance obligations under your Walmart Contract documents, contact the team at Consultstu LLC.

What is Walmart’s Worker Verification Program?

Walmart’s Worker Verification (WV) Program applies to general contractors and their subcontractors, regardless of tier. Each worker at a Walmart site must be verified, badged and matched to their photo ID upon check-in. Failure to follow these steps may result in project disruption and removal from the site. Under Walmart’s WV program each company must certify the following:

Certify that the contractor follows all immigration and worker eligibility laws.
Maintain I-9 records for each worker (and copies of employment verification documents).
Provide a WV Certification Form listing all workers by name and employer (using designated forms).
Issue badges only to verified workers listed on the WV Form.
Update the WV Form when new workers are added to the site.
Report any Worker Verification Incidents (such as false documents) within one hour to Walmart.
Cooperate with a WV Auditor for any compliance reviews or audits.

Worker Verification I9 Audits and Reviews

Walmart’s Worker Verification Certification audits conducted by a third-party verifier need to be able to attest and affirm the following:

Review I-9 forms for compliance.
Ensure documents are free of substantive or uncorrected technical deficiencies (other than timeliness). Copies of employment eligibility documents must be maintained by the Contractor.
Verify the contractor’s list of workers on-site matches those certified and listed on the WV Form (exact format must be followed).
Contractor must not have been the subject of ICE enforcement action within the previous 2 years.
Confirm Contractor intends to or has procedures in place to track and report worker eligibility and incidents.
WV Auditor has been given access to the documents and personnel as needed to complete the audit.

The audit certification would be signed by a Qualified Employee Verifier and may be relied upon by Walmart to assess compliance by the Contractor. If your company needs the services of a knowledgeable and reliable auditor of your I9s forms and related documentation, contact Consultstu LLC at (727) 350-0370. We can assist your company with performing an I9 audit of existing employees going to work on a Walmart project, and completing the required forms and certifications needed to maintain compliance with Walmart’s Global Ethics and Compliance policy.
