Purpose: Immigration law requires employers to walk a fine line between determining the eligibility of employees to work in the United States (the purpose of the I-9 Form) and not discriminating against those of foreign origin or citizenship.
Which Employees Require I-9s: I-9 Forms must be completed for each employee hired on or after November 7, 1986. Those hired before this date and who have been continuously employed are “grandfathered” and no I-9 Form need be completed for them.
