The Importance of I-9 Compliance
Employers in the United States are required to complete and retain Form I-9 for each individual they hire. This form is used to verify the identity and employment authorization of both citizens and non-citizens. Ensuring compliance with I-9 requirements is crucial, as non-compliance can result in severe penalties and legal consequences.
At The Deng Law Firm, we understand the challenges that businesses face when it comes to I-9 compliance. We stay on top of the latest guidance provided by ICE to help our clients maintain compliance and avoid potential issues. That's why we are excited to announce the extension on new employee guidance to I-9 compliance flexibility.
What is the New Employee Guidance on I-9 Compliance Flexibility?
ICE recognizes that employers may have difficulties in completing the I-9 process during the COVID-19 pandemic. To address these challenges, ICE issued temporary guidance regarding I-9 compliance flexibility, allowing employers to inspect new employees' documents remotely.
Under this new guidance, employers working remotely due to COVID-19 are able to inspect Section 2 documents remotely. This temporary provision applies only to employers and workplaces that are operating remotely. Employers must still complete Section 2 within three business days of the employee's first day of work, but they can now do so remotely via video link, fax, email, or any other electronic means.
However, it's important to note that this flexibility does not apply to employers who are not operating remotely. Employers who are back to operating in-person are still required to physically review the employee's documents as usual. The relaxed guidelines are temporary and are subject to change as the situation evolves.
