Description
The mandatory federal document that verifies your identity and legal authorization to work in the United States. Every U.S. employer must properly complete a Form I‑9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This form is not a product, but a critical legal requirement for onboarding.
Key Features:
– Legal Requirement: Mandated by federal law to ensure that all employees are properly documented and authorized to work.
– Two-Section Process: Divided into Section 1, completed by the employee attesting to their authorization, and Section 2, completed by the employer who examines the employee’s documents.
– Document Verification: Requires employees to present specific, unexpired documents that prove their identity and employment eligibility (e.g., a U.S. Passport, Permanent Resident Card, or a combination of a driver’s license and Social Security card).
– Record-Keeping Mandate: Employers must retain the completed I‑9 for the duration of an employee’s employment and for a required period after termination.
Ideal For:
– Employers: Fulfilling their legal obligation to verify a new hire’s work authorization.
– Human Resources Departments: Streamlining the onboarding process and ensuring compliance.
– Employees: Providing the necessary documentation to prove they are legally eligible to work.
– Businesses of All Sizes: From small businesses to large corporations, as the I‑9 requirement applies universally.
