The Immigration and Nationality Act requires United States employers to complete and store Form I-9. Employers may process paper Form I-9s and store them electronically or complete and retain the Form I-9 solely in electronic format.

PeopleSoft Human Resources enables you to collect, store, and manage all I-9 information in compliance with the Immigration and Nationality Act. This includes employee self service functions to complete and submit the employee I-9 information, and functionality for the employer to complete the required employer sections of the Form I-9. The application provides components to report and process I-9 information, including notification of expiration dates, storing, printing, and archiving.

This example illustrates the process flow for completing the Form I-9 online.

Process flow for completing the Form I-9 electronically

Completing the Form I-9 online requires the following steps:

  1. An employee must submit employment verification information on the first day of employment. The employee, preparer, or translator for the employee can fill out the identification and citizenship information for section 1 on the self service Form I-9 - Employment Eligibility Verification page.

  2. After the employee submits this information, the HR administrator will:

    1. Review and complete sections 2 and 3 of the Form I-9 required by the employer using the Complete/Reverify EE Form I-9 component.

      If a new I-9 is needed, the administrator can send notification to the employee to complete a new Form I-9.

    2. Manage the I-9s by viewing pending and expired documents, printing Form I-9, or archiving data that is no longer needed.

Use the Employment Eligibility Verification page (HR_I9_EE), Section 1 to enter employee self identification and employment authorization information for Form I-9. If you are a person that assisted the employee in the completion of the Form I-9 information, enter your the name and address in the Preparer and/or Translator Certification section of this page.
