REMINDER: NEW FORM I-9 MUST BE USED BY FEBRUARY 2, 2009

Last January, we reported on the new I-9 form that employers must complete within three days of hiring a new employee. The new form updates the criteria for acceptable documentation that can be used to prove that an employee is lawfully entering the workforce.

The new forms must be used for any new hires beginning February 2, 2009. If you have not already obtained updated forms, the time to do so is now. Sample forms are available at www.uscis.gov/files/formi-9.pdf.
