How I-9 Compliance Software Streamlines the Onboarding Process for Remote Employees
Summary
This ongoing trend has many employers considering how I-9 compliance software streamlines the onboarding process for remote employees. Since the 1986 passage of The Immigration Reform and Control Act, it has been federally mandated for employees to complete a Form I-9 and submit documentation to prove they are eligible to work in the United States. • Employers typically need to enlist a third party that is in-person with the employee to assist with the inspection and verification of identification documents. • The recently released I-9 form allows E-Verify program participants the option to inspect employee documents over a video call, however, without in-person review of the I-9 form by an employer, an error that leads to a Tentative Nonconfirmation (mismatch) can be more common. Fortunately, many of the challenges that come from hiring remote employees can be eased or remedied by understanding how I-9 compliance software streamlines the onboarding process for remote employees.
