Definition:
]The Employment Eligibility Verification (I-9) is the form that is required by the Department of Homeland Security - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to document eligibility for employment in the United States. All employees, citizens and noncitizens, hired after November 6, 1986, must complete Section 1 of this form at the time of hire. The employer is responsible for ensuring that Section 1 is timely and properly completed by the employee. The employer must check employment verification and ensure Section 2 and 3 of the I-9 are properly filled out, too.
Employers must complete Section 2 by examining evidence of identity and employment eligibility within three (3) business days of the date employment begins.
