Suttons Bay - June 2008

I-9 FORMS HAVE CHANGED, HAVE YOU?
Every employee working in the United States and hired by the employer after November 6, 1986, must complete a Form I-9. This is true of citizens and non-citizens alike. The Department of Homeland Security recently amended Form I-9, and any employee hired after January 1, 2008, must complete the updated form. Failure to properly complete and maintain Form I-9 can result in significant fines and penalties for the employer. A copy of the updated form can be found online at www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf. Check to make sure that you are using the proper form for all of your new hires.
