Am I required to complete Form I-9 for employees who will work only one day?

Yes, all employers in the United States must complete Form I-9 for every individual they hire for employment, regardless of the duration of their employment. This requirement applies to both citizens and noncitizens, and to part-time, temporary, and full-time employees. Even if an employee is hired to work for only one day, you must still complete and maintain a Form I-9 for that employee. The employee must complete Section 1 of the form on or before their first day of employment, and the employer must complete Section 2 of the form by the end of the employee's third day of employment. Employers are also responsible for retaining the completed Form I-9 for a certain period after the employment relationship ends, as specified by the regulations.

Is my employee required to complete Form I-9 if he/she is attending training in the United States before starting his/her job in a foreign country?

The Form I-9 is required for individuals who are hired for employment in the United States, regardless of their citizenship or immigration status. The purpose of the form is to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals working in the U.S. If an individual is attending training in the United States but will not be working or providing services in the U.S., they may not be considered an "employee" for the purposes of Form I-9 requirements. In this case, it may not be necessary for them to complete the form. However, if the individual will be providing any services or labor in the United States as part of their training or if they are considered an employee while attending training, then they would need to complete a Form I-9. It is important to consult with legal counsel or human resources professionals to determine the specific circumstances and requirements for your situation.

Is an employer required to terminate employees who, as a result of the employer’s internal Form I-9 audit, disclose that they were previously not employment-authorized, even though they are currently employment-authorized?

If an employee is currently employment-authorized, an employer is generally not required to terminate their employment based solely on their previous unauthorized employment status, which was discovered during an internal Form I-9 audit. The employer should ensure that a proper Form I-9 is completed and on file for the employee reflecting their current employment authorization. However, it is important to note that employing individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States is illegal, and employers found to be knowingly employing unauthorized workers may face penalties. Employers should consult with legal counsel to address any specific concerns or situations that arise during an internal audit. It is also important for employers to treat all employees consistently and fairly during internal audits and when addressing any issues related to employment authorization. Discrimination based on citizenship, immigration status, or national origin is prohibited by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and other federal laws.

During a self-audit, I discovered we have an employee we hired in July 1986. Do I need to complete a Form I-9 for this employee?

No, you do not need to complete a Form I-9 for an employee who was hired before November 7, 1986. The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), which established the requirement for employers to verify the identity and employment authorization of their employees using Form I-9, did not go into effect until November 6, 1986. Employees who were continuously employed by the same employer since before November 7, 1986, are exempt from the Form I-9 requirements. As long as the employee in question has been continuously employed with your company since July 1986, you do not need to complete a Form I-9 for them. However, for any employees hired on or after November 7, 1986, you must ensure that a Form I-9 is completed and kept on file.

Can employees in the United States use the Form I-9 Spanish version?

In the United States, the Form I-9 is used to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment. Employers must ensure proper completion of Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States, including both citizens and noncitizens. While there is a Spanish version of the Form I-9 available, it is intended for use only in Puerto Rico. Employers in the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and other U.S. territories must use the English version of the form. However, Spanish-speaking employees and employers in the U.S. outside of Puerto Rico may use the Spanish version of Form I-9 as a reference or for guidance, but they must complete the English version of the form for official purposes. You can find both the English and Spanish versions of Form I-9, along with instructions, on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9
