The I-9 Form, officially known as the Employment Eligibility Verification Form, is a crucial document designed to establish an individual’s eligibility to work in the United States. At ARA Staffing, we prioritize compliance and workforce integrity, and the completion of the I-9 Form is an essential step in our onboarding process.

What is the I-9 Form? The I-9 Form is a federal document mandated by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It serves as a verification tool for both employers and employees, ensuring that individuals hired for employment in the United States are authorized to work.

Key Components:

    • This section is completed by the employee on or before their first day of work. It includes personal information, citizenship status, and attestation regarding their work eligibility.
    • Employers must examine the employee’s original documents that establish their identity and work authorization. These documents are categorized into List A (documents establishing both identity and employment eligibility), List B (documents establishing identity), and List C (documents establishing employment eligibility).
    • This section is used for re-verifying the employment eligibility of individuals whose work authorization has expired or for rehired employees.

Importance of I-9 Compliance:

    • Employers are legally obligated to complete and retain a Form I-9 for each employee hired. Failure to comply with I-9 regulations can result in fines and penalties.
    • The I-9 Form is a vital tool in ensuring the integrity of the workforce, helping to prevent unauthorized individuals from obtaining employment.
    • Completing the I-9 Form verifies that employees are legally eligible to work in the U.S., contributing to a compliant and ethical work environment.
