DocuSign Envelope ID:90883988-076D-486D-B746-055E86E2D681 <br /> GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: <br /> a. Living Wage <br /> Orange County is committed to providing its employees with a living wage and encourages agencies it <br /> funds to pursue the same goal. A copy of Orange County's Living Wage Contractor Policy is included in <br /> Attachment C. <br /> b. E-Verify <br /> HB789 imposes E-Verify requirements on contractors who enter into certain contracts with state agencies <br /> and local governments. The legislation specifically prohibits governmental units from entering into certain <br /> contracts "unless the contractor and the contractor's subcontractors comply with the requirements of <br /> Article 2 of Chapter 65 of the General Statues." (Article 2 of Chapter 65 establishes North Carolina's E- <br /> Verify requirements for private employers.) It is important to note that the verification requirement <br /> applies to subcontractors as well as contractors. The new laws specifically prohibit governmental units <br /> from entering into contracts with contractors who have not (or their subcontractors have not) complied <br /> with E-Verify. <br />
