5 Common Questions Asked About the I9 Form
Federal audits for the form I9 are up from 1,444 in 2009 to 3,127 in 2013. With this rise in audits also comes a rise in the fines collected, a total of about $1 million in 2009 to over $15 million in 2013.
The average fine per form I9 can be up to $900, states an attorney Daniel Brown with Fragomen in Washington, D.C. However, it doesn’t stop at fines, if you knowingly hire an employee who is not authorized to work in this country, you could be subject to arrest and criminal charges.
I get questions all of the time about the form I9, the do’s and don’t’s and how to properly complete it.

Remember that the employee’s first day of employment means it is their first day of employment where they receive pay. A signature of the employer or authorized representative and the date will be required, and will be subject to the same three day rule as followed in the List of Acceptable Documents. Some company’s may have multiple locations, under the “Employer’s Business or Organization Address (Street Number and Name), use the address where the form I9 is completed with the employee.
Section 3. Reverification and Rehires:
This section is only to be used when an employee’s temporary work authorization expires, keeping in mind that there is no grace period when an Employment Authorization expires.
If you do a rehire, it is recommended that the employer reviews the employee’s old I9 form. If the employee is eligible to work, then Section 3 should be used on the employee’s old form with the rehire date. Keep in mind that it is not a requirement to complete a new form I9 for this employee, as long as the old form I9 is still retained.
Keep in Mind: Fines are collected when employers make paperwork errors, do not document properly, work authorizations are not properly reverified, and when an electronic storage system does not meet the requirements. Fines range from $110 - $1,110 per violation and is under the ultimate discretion of the auditor. (J.J. Keller & Associates)

...ployee you hire after November 6, 1986.” (US Citizens and Immigration Services 2010) 2. An audit trail, consisting of a file of all employees names, social security numbers and I-9 verification forms will be the one tool needed to ensure that all employees are legal citizens. 3. In the case of hiring outside contractors to perform some of the transportation, cargo and handling duties IRS ID numbers will be sufficient proof that the company has followed all USCIS laws and hires only document workers and contractors. All companies nationwide are required by law to follow the I-9 Law of 1986. To ensure success, the audit trail must end where it starts; meaning when an employee or contractor is hired to perform the duties at hand, once the I-9 or IRS Tax ID number is secured and the form is complete, the company is free and clear from any audit non-compliance.

One of the most crucial requirements of any organization is completing Form I-9, otherwise called Employment Eligibility Verification. The purpose of the Form I-9 is to prove that every new employee hired by an organization is allowed to work in the United States. This form initially appeared on November 6, 1986, when President Ronald Reagan approve the Immigration Reform and Control Act. At that time, many people were concerned that undocumented immigrants were tempted to come to the United States because of the abundance of work opportunity.

Fast forward to 2004, and it has been a year since Congress extended the life of the Basic Pilot Program until November 2008, and a new web-based access method was put into and it allowed people to access the program through any computer with internet, and it also included online enrollment, reporting capability, and 23 hours access. At this time, there was an enrollment of 3,478 employers and 757, 342 reported cases. In 2006 North Carolina passed the SB 1523 which required all state agencies, offices, and universities to use E-Verify which applied to all employees hired after January 1, 2007 but for local education agencies it did not go into effect until March 1, 2007. Three years after the extension of the program, in 2007 the Basic Pilot Program experienced greater improvements and was officially renamed E-Verify. Once the program was renamed, the additional features that were added were an automatic flagging system that double-checks data that was entered and it helped reduce data entry errors and mismatches by up to 30%, and photo matching was also added. For the 2007 record, 24,463 employers were enrolled and there were 3,271,871 reported cases. On June 6, 2008, President George W.

The following memorandum written by a director of a security and safety consulting service discusses a critical issue effecting business in our economy today, that of employee theft. "Our research indicated that, over past six years, no incident of employee theft have been reported within ten of the companies that have been our clients. In analyzing the security practices of these ten companies, we have further learned that each of them requires its employees to wear photo identification badges while at work. In the future, we should recommend the uses of such identification badges to all of our clients." The issue of employee theft is a broad problem and has different labels to identify it, shrinkage for the retail industry and hidden profit loss in the technology sector are serval examples of common terms used for employee theft.
