What is I-9?
American companies regularly hire foreign nationals, but the Department of Labor and USCIS require employers to verify the employee’s eligibility to work in the U.S. using form I-9. Employers must complete an I-9 form for every worker — citizen and non-citizen — hired since November 1986. If they do not comply with the law, they may be subject to fines and other penalties if their non-compliance is revealed by an I-9 workplace audit.
How can we help?
Our firm advises employers about the documentation acceptable as verification of eligibility to work. We discuss exemptions for independent contractors and domestic workers. We make sure that clients understand the three-day window for collecting documents from newly hired workers. We talk about the fine line between compliance with the law and discrimination against non-citizens. We make sure that a system is in place for retention and renewal of I-9 forms. We also conduct internal audits to verify the client’s compliance.
