I-9s and Employee Eligibility Verification: What every employer needs to know
Every employer is required to verify the eligibility of their employees to work by using a federal form I-9. But proof of citizenship and eligibility compliance is so much more complicated than just that. What forms of identification can employers require or accept? What are some signs of an ineligible applicant? What should an employer do when faced with a suspicion that an applicant is not legally eligible to work in the U.S.—without risking liability for potential discrimination?
This isn’t (only) your entry-level I-9 refresher! We’ll be tackling our trickiest citizenship verification issues, including:
- When you need to ask for alternate documentation—and when doing so will land you with a discrimination claim
- What types of social security numbers are questionable
- Trends in identification verification fraud, and how to spot them
- How much you can or should third-party verification services
- How to analyze those “gray area” situations
We’ll tackle these questions and more together!
