A gray area, I was willing to argue that I was one of his employers.
Even if that argument could be made, the law requires that the verification check be run no later than three days prior to employment and it is against the law to run it on either existing employees or using it as a screening tool for potential employees who haven’t completed an I9 for your company (which is the release to verify legal employment status)
“A gray area, I was willing to argue that I was one of his employers.”
What you evidently forgot is that kings do not view themselves as employees. That would imply they are actually beholden to the people, which is the last thing any self-respecting king would want to admit. I commend your initiative, but my cynical side says nothing will come of this.
