i9Check’s Electronic I-9 Form Completion Software to be Made Available at the UPS Stores
i9Check, the leader in I-9 form completion software, teams up with The UPS Stores to solve the problem of remote I-9 form completion
Los Angeles (PRWEB) May 2, 2005 -- i9Check LLC is pleased to announce its agreement with the UPS Stores where the UPS Stores will offer i9Check’s sophisticated electronic I-9 form completion software to process a company’s I-9 forms for remote new hires.
In 1986, the Immigration Reform and Control Act required all U.S. employers to verify the employment authorization of all employees hired after November 6, 1986. These verifications are recorded and maintained on the I-9 form for each employee; companies must be ready to present them to a Department of Homeland Security or Department of Labor agent in the event of an audit. Preparing, reviewing, and correcting I-9 forms is a tedious but essential task-- failure to comply could lead to civil penalties, fines, and even imprisonment.
Remote new hires pose a difficult scenario for companies who do not have a local branch office to meet with the new employee and process his/her I-9 form. While I-9 regulations permit 3rd parties to complete the I-9 form on behalf of an employer, companies have a difficult time referring their new hires to knowledgeable representatives who can competently complete the form. It is in this specific area that Human Resources departments struggle to maintain I-9 records for each remote employee. Too often record-keeping is poor or non-existent.
The i9Check/UPS Stores partnership solves this problem. There are over 3,300 USP Stores across the country, and Human Resources departments can now refer their remote new hires to a local UPS Store to complete the I-9 form. UPS Store representatives will access the i9Check software to quickly produce an I-9 form that is complete and legally compliant.
Because of its user-friendly design, i9Check software simplifies the I9 form completion process by guiding users to proper completion of the I-9 form. Help tips, drop-down menus, and sample documents are readily available to guide the user through the entire process. Created by a team of I-9 legal counsel and IT experts, i9Check software provides protections against discriminatory and illegal conduct. Companies sending their new hires to the UPS Stores can be confident the I-9 form will be completed properly.
U.S. companies working with a large number of remote new hires can now comply with I-9 employment eligibility regulations with ease. The combination of i9Check’s expert I-9 software with the UPS Stores’ strong presence across the country will enable companies to finally get a grip on the vexing problem of remote I-9 form completion.
