The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires employers to verify the identities of their employees and ensure that they are legally eligible to work in the United States. Employers must have a properly completed Form I-9 on file for all current employees.

With each Form I-9 violation ranging from $110 to $1,100, conducting an internal audit is the safest way to protect your company from potential fines.

While different employers may have different methods of storing their employee records (electronic vs paper), the document, security and retention requirements are all the same.

HR Advisors’ Form I-9 and Employee File Audit provides:

• A thorough review of each Form I-9 and employee file

• A report detailing the results of the audit (missing forms, incomplete forms, incorrect forms)

• Guidance on how to make corrections to the Form I-9 in compliance with USCIS guidelines

• Guidance on how to ensure employee files are in compliance with state and federal record keeping and retention requirements
