One of the changes the new year brought was a new version of I-9 Form. Beginning on January 22, all employers should now use the newly revised version of the new I-9 Form for verifying employment eligibility. The form may be found at https://www.uscis.gov/i-9
The latest version of the I-9 Form may be filled out on-line (although it still must be printed out, signed and retained). The electronic version should help with reducing potential errors due to the new drop-down lists and on-line instructions. The new I-9 Form can also simply be downloaded from the government website, if you would prefer.
As a reminder, employers are required to complete an I-9 Form for all new employees not later than the third business day of their employment.
