Electronic Form I-9 Management Software with E-Verify Improves Compliance with Employment and Immigration Laws

The paper Form I-9 process has always been error-prone and hard to centralize. Form I-9 management software can store, manage, and submit employee I-9 information electronically to the Federal databases in a fraction of the time it takes HR personnel to process paper forms. Some paperless Form I-9  management systems, including Tracker I-9™, are integrated with E-Verify, allowing employers to submit information about new hires to government databases instantly and securely in real time.

Using Form I-9 management software with E-Verify features, organizations faced with the task of including E-Verify in their new hire on-boarding process can simplify their work and conduct all tasks with only one password and user interface to learn.  By automatically filling information from the electronic Form I-9 record to open an E-Verify case, duplicate data entry and subsequent errors can be avoided right from the start. These systems can:

• Offer verification of social security numbers against government databases

• Integrate with a company’s existing office and HR management software

• Have built-in alerts to help employers avoid costly errors and liability from noncompliance

• Catch mistakes commonly made when filling out paper I-9s

In addition to these features, Tracker I-9™ provides automatic notification of immigration status changes requiring I-9 re-verification
