Reminder -- Employers Must Use New I-9 Forms
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced that it will begin imposing penalties against employers who are not using the newly approved and issued I-9 forms as of December 26, 2007.
As a reminder, in our blog entry of November 9th we informed readers that an updated Employment Eligibility Verification Form (commonly known as the "I-9") had been made available for use by employers. At that point, the federal government was only "encouraging" employers to begin utilizing the new form; effective December 26th, however, use of the updated form is mandatory.
Please contact us directly to discuss any questions you have regarding the guidelines set forth in the new I-9 forms.
