Protect your organization from identity fraud and child labor risks.

Employers across the United States face increasing scrutiny around hiring practices, identity verification, and compliance with labor laws. Traditional employment eligibility checks such as the I-9 and E-Verify processes confirm that documents appear valid, but they do not verify that the person presenting them is actually the individual identified in those documents. This gap creates risk—particularly when false identities are used to bypass age restrictions or employment eligibility requirements. LRQA - Effective Identity Verif…

LRQA’s TriAge Framework helps organizations close that gap. Built with guidance from leading labor and immigration experts, TriAge provides a structured approach to verifying identity, strengthening hiring processes, and reducing compliance risks across your workforce.

The framework focuses on five key pillars

Policy

Establish clear policies that define minimum hiring age, eligibility requirements, reporting channels, and record retention. Strong policies set expectations across the organization and demonstrate leadership commitment to compliance.

Staffing and Recruiting

Ensure recruitment processes verify that all candidates meet legal age and eligibility requirements—whether hired directly or through third-party staffing agencies.

Hiring and Onboarding

Combine required employment eligibility verification with additional identity verification steps to identify inconsistencies and reduce the risk of identity fraud.

Training

Equip managers, HR teams, and compliance staff with the knowledge to conduct proper document reviews, recognize suspicious patterns, and escalate concerns appropriately.

Management Review
Regularly evaluate how the system is working, identify gaps, and adapt to evolving legal requirements or emerging risks.
Together, these elements form a management system that supports consistent, defensible hiring practices.
