In response to tremendous interest in i9Check’s
online I9 form completion software,
i9Check released a I9 software package
designed specifically for small
businesses. This new software package will
assist small business in complying with
burdensome I9 regulations and procedures
while streamlining and expediting the
process.
The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act requires
all
U.S. employers to verify the employment
authorization of all employees hired after
November 6, 1986.
Employers must maintain and update I-9
forms for each employee and be ready to
present them quickly to a Department of
Homeland Security or Department of Labor
agent in the event of an audit. While
large companies typically have more
resources and personnel devoted to
preparing and managing these forms, small
businesses typically do not, resulting in
incorrectly completed I9 forms or forms
not completed at all.
The penalties for this omission are significant. An
employer who fails to have the I9 form
properly completed risks being
significantly fined for noncompliance.
Fines for simple paperwork violations
range from $110.00 - $1,100.00 per form to
$275.00 - $11,000.00 for the employment of
unauthorized workers. Deficient I-9 form
preparation could potentially subject a
company to tens of thousands of dollars in
penalties and even imprisonment.
i9Check software greatly simplifies the I9 form
completion process by guiding users to
proper completion of the I-9 form. Helpful
tips, drop-down menus, and sample
documents are readily available to guide
the user through the entire process. The
end result is an I9 form that is
accurately completed pursuant to I-9
regulations.
Created by a team of I-9 legal counsel and IT
experts, i9Check software provides
protections against discriminatory and
overdocumentation conduct by company
representatives. It also ensures that
required fields are completed on the I9
form thus providing solid procedural
protection. With i9Check, employers can
avoid potential liability caused by
negligent, ignorant, or even
discriminatory behavior.
As a web-based product, i9Check software is
accessible anywhere without the need to
deal with the hassle of software
installation and upgrades. Designed
specifically for small businesses, this
new version of the i9Check software
possesses useful features that is
reasonably priced to fit a small-business
budget.
