I-9 Online

I-9 compliance has become an increasingly important responsibility for all employers, and especially the University. The I-9 form verifies that the employee has authorization to work in the United States. Federal law requires that a Form I-9 be filled out before any new employee can begin work. Allowing an employee to begin work without completing an I-9 form can subject an employer to civil fines and even criminal prosecution. In an effort to assist departments with a necessary but occasionally confusing process Human Resources utilizes a online system, eliminating paper-based I-9s and taking the guess work out of I-9 completion.
