Using The Correct I-9 Form

Did you know that all employers are required to use the new I-9 Form, which the Federal Immigration Service issued on December 26, 2007? Did you know that immigration authorities may seek penalties against any employer who does not use the updated version of the I-9 form?

Effective December 27, 2007, an employer using any I-9 form other than that marked "Form I-9 (Rev. 06/05/07) N" on the bottom right corner of the document is using an out-of-date form and may be subject to penalties, including civil fines. The revised I-9 form should be used for new employees, employees rehired after a break in service, or for re-verifications of current employees when their work authorization expires.

Employers may access the new I-9 Form and instructions via the internet at this link.
