http://www.shusterman.com This presentation explains what employers can do to avoid the seven most costly mistakes - including how to prevent an I-9 audit. Schedule a legal consultation at http://shusterman.com/schedule-immigration-consultation.html 1. Each person you employ must complete Part 1 of the I-9 on or before their first day of employment. 2. You must complete Part 2 of the I-9 on or before the person's 3rd day of employment. 3. Be sure that the person signs and dates the form. 4. Store the I-9 forms together and not in each employee's personnel file. You are permitted to store the I-9 forms electronically. 5. Store the I-9 forms of current employees separately from the I-9s of former employees. 6. I-9 forms must be kept for 3 years after a person is hired or 1 year after they quit, retire or are terminated, whichever date is later.
