Ensuring your business covers it all and avoids "inadvertent" risk.
"I Thought HR Takes Care of That."
A Form I-9 verifies the identity and employment authorization of people hired to work in the United States. Employers, regardless of size or where they are based, generally must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each employee they hire, whether the employee is a U.S. citizen or noncitizen.

The Goal Isn't Panic. It's Preparation.
The best time to identify missing or incorrect records is before they are requested. An internal review can help you determine what you have, what needs attention, and how to create a consistent process going forward.​​​​​

Payroll and Form I-9 compliance are not the same thing.

You Don’t Have to Be a Form I-9 Expert
You don’t need to be an immigration attorney or a Form I-9 expert to take control of your records.
You do need to understand your responsibilities, know what you have, and establish a consistent process for completing, reviewing, retaining, and producing the forms when needed.
​
And that is absolutely doable.
