Innovative I9 Compliance Tools to Help You Remain Error Free and Ultimately Fine Free

Our software addresses the biggest issues that cause fines on I9 compliance audits. Our software has controls that prevent errors from being made – it guides users to follow the requirements and format that is required by USCIS. All levels of users, from the local manager to even the most seasoned HR manager will benefit from our comprehensive error checking features.
Expiring Document Notification:
As documents expire, they expose your company to I9 audit fines. Our software reminds you to update documents before they expire and become a problem. Avoid the fines with a hassle-free reminder system.
Incomplete I9 Report:
Anyone who has on-boarded an employee knows that it is easy to forget to finalize the I9. Some bring the wrong combination of documents, requiring them to be redone. Our system reminds you of any that are still pending information, which helps avoid fines for something as simple as forgetting to go back and finish the document. No more important items slipping through the cracks.
I9 Checklist:
We provide our users with a checklist so nothing is overlooked, which avoids costly fines. The checklist allows you to give employees an overview of what will be required of them during the I9 form completion process. This checklist reminds HR and hiring managers what needs to be completed to be I9 compliant.
