Summary
This guide outlines the steps necessary to conduct an internal I-9 audit. It begins with the identification of the I-9 folder and the comparison of current payroll records with I-9 Forms to ensure compliance for each employee. The guide specifies that employees hired before November 7, 1986, are exempt from needing an I-9 Form. For employees lacking an I-9 Form, the guide instructs to have them complete Section 1 of a new form and produce required documents within three business days. It details the process for handling I-9 Forms of terminated employees, including retention and disposal policies. The guide emphasizes the importance of reviewing all I-9 Forms for completeness and accuracy, outlining correction procedures for errors found in Sections 1 and 2. Additionally, it provides a checklist of items to verify during the review process, ensuring that all necessary information is correctly documented.
