Form I-9 Compliance

Form I-9 compliance refers to the process U.S. employers must follow to verify the identity and employment eligibility of their employees. When hiring, employers must have new employees complete Form I-9, which requires documentation proving their identity and authorization to work in the U.S. Employers must retain these forms for a designated period and may be subject to audits to ensure they are properly completed. Non-compliance can lead to significant fines and penalties. Overall, it helps ensure that only eligible individuals are hired and prevents illegal employment practices.
