A new I-9 Form is in the works! The still confusing HR onboarding document used to record employment eligibility verification, as required by the federal government, is slated to undergo a significant structural overhaul by the time the current form expires on October 31, 2022. Although the I-9 form is a 2-page document, there is a 15-page instruction page and over 70 pages in a manual to complete the form. The plan to streamline the I-9 form and make it less cumbersome includes the following proposed changes:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) once again is extending its flexibility regarding the physical presence requirements for I-9 inspection until October 31, 2022, due to the ongoing precautions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The DHS has extended the I-9 Remote Option.
This also extends the requirements that employers who use this process need to put in place. For example, Eligible employers may continue to inspect Section 2 documents remotely (e.g., over video… fax, or email)! But must still revert the physical documents when normal operations resume! Employers must provide written documentation of their remote onboarding and telework policy for each covered employee. While this flexibility is helpful to employers, it only impacts remote employees. These employers must understand that they are still required to reverify documents for those remote employees when normal operations resume.
The I-9 form preparation, correction, and internal audit are still a headache and even a nightmare for employers and professionals. This training will identify some of the mistakes that are made which will assist in reducing errors and fines and penalties.
DHS extends the flexibility to use the I-9 form remote option but employers still need to reverify documents and have a policy in place unless that criteria changes. At this time, there are no discussions on what needs to happen if this option is made permanent and how it will impact employers.
