I9 is a form that employers MUST RECEIVE during the hiring process BEFORE THE EMPLOYEE STARTS WORKING. Employers take a high risk of not obtaining them prior to employment. The IRS and the USCIS both have specific rules on how to obtain, verify and process these forms.
In some cases, penalties for I9 non-compliance can result in jail time, as well as Homeland Security, the FBI, and USCIS immigration audits.
Specific topics covered in the webinar include:
- We will take the I9 line by line, to make clear what information is necessary for your company to collect. We will point out the new requirements for remote viewing of documents, due to COVID -19
- Ensuring the documentation offered by the worker is acceptable
- Documenting your review of the items
- Procedures for submission to the USCIS
- We will discuss what to do if the information DOES NOT MATCH the information the USCIS and IRS have on your worker
- We will detail the electronic method used by the USCIS for verification, designed to streamline and simplify the process for employers
