On March 8, 2013, the government released a revised Employment and Eligibility Verification Form I-9 which employers must use effective immediately. To obtain the new form you can use this link http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf. This link provides the new form and instructions on appropriate verification documentation and how to complete the document.
The I-9 form is required for ALL full- or part-time employees who work even one (1) day for the company, this includes rehires and expatriates returning to the US for training.
It is recommended that I-9 forms be kept in a separate file from the employee files. They must be retained up to 3 years after an employee’s date of hire or one year after he or she has left the company, whichever is later.
