General Requirements <br /> 1. Living Wage. Orange County is committed to providing its employees with a <br /> living wage and encourages agencies it funds to pursue the same goal. A copy of <br /> Orange County's Living Wage Contractor Policy is included. <br /> 2. HB786 imposes E-Verify requirements on contractors who enter into certain <br /> contracts with state agencies and local governments. The legislation specifically <br /> prohibits governmental units from entering into certain contracts "unless the <br /> 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 <br /> establishes North Carolina's E-Verify requirements for private employers.) It is <br /> important to note that the verification requirement applies to subcontractors as <br /> well as contractors. The new laws specifically prohibit governmental units from <br /> entering into contracts with contractors who have not (or their subs have not) <br /> complied with E-Verify requirements. Complete the attached affidavit, and <br /> include it with your submittal. <br />
