An Easy to Follow Guide to the New Form I-9

Written by Jen Leigh | September, 22, 2017

Too often, business owners, HR managers, and company execs assume their I-9 compliance practices are in order when, in fact, their records and policies are littered with mistakes.  With the recent changes to the Form I-9, now is the perfect time to re-circle the wagons and revisit your HR compliance practices for managing  the Form I-9. 

We all have to complete the form and are all subject to steep civil and criminal penalties for doing it wrong. There are very real civil and criminal penalties, unlawful discrimination penalties,  and very real fines ranging form$110 and $1,100, that can be imposed for even the simpliest of clerical errors.  

That's why we've created a 22 page guide for navigating this HR compliance quagmire.  Our guide to the new form I-9i ncludes easy to to understand language, helpful tips,  and has lot's of pictures to make it easy to digest and understand:

  • Basics of Completing the Form (guide for employees and employers)
  • Retention Requirements

  • Answers to Frequently asked questions

  • Guidllines for Retaining Forms

  • Best practices and more...

It's  a great training tool for managers and supervisors and a helpful reminder of best practices. It's also a great example of one of the many resources available through the HR Support center, a valuable HR compliance tool that's built into our unified HCM solutions.
