Proposed Rule
Promotes Path Toward Virtual I-9

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a proposed rule that would provide more options to employers when examining I-9 documents presented by new hires during the employment eligibility verification process. This proposal addresses the permanent ability to remotely examine employees' identity and employment authorization documents for the Form I-9.

While the rule does not directly create permanent remote review, it does create the authority that would allow the government to "extend flexibilities, provide alternative options, or conduct a pilot program to further evaluate an alternative procedure option for some or all employers." Any specific new procedures such as virtual document review would be proposed in a separate rulemaking.

Employers must complete an I-9 form for all workers to verify employment eligibility. During the pandemic, the Department of Homeland Security waived requirements that employers inspect documents in person in workplaces that were operating remotely, and those employers have been allowed to use alternatives like videoconferencing, fax or e-mail. That flexibility was most recently extended through end of October.

Candida is celebrating 7 years with HR Advantage! She brings more than 20 years of experience to the HRA team as a dedicated HR Advisor.

We asked Candida about her love for HR and this is what she had to say....

What do you love most about HR?  I enjoy solving problems people care about in organizations. 

What made you choose a career in HR?  Working in an organization where I knew the employer cared a lot about the employees and I knew the employees were diligently working in the organization's best interest, but neither understood the heart of the other.  I knew bridging the gap in understanding was one way I could help businesses thrive

Describe a moment that made you grateful to be an HR Professional...I am often grateful for the ability to help employees make the most of their positions in organizations and realize where they have influence and strength.
