I-9 compliance is every U.S. employer’s responsibility, requiring employers to verify the identity and employment authorization of all employees. This process involves accurate and timely completion of Form I-9 for each worker, and proper retention and handling of these forms.
The I-9 process is more than just filling out a form – it requires a thorough understanding of the complexities surrounding employment verification, including navigating re-verification requirements, addressing discrepancies in documentation, and handling remote employees properly. Failure to comply with I-9 requirements can result in substantial fines, government audits, and even criminal penalties.
