I-9 Compliance, LLC Launches the First Web-Based Form I-9 Employment
Verification Service and Begins Executing Its Reseller Strategy
Newport Beach, CA June 17, 2005 -– Form I-9 Compliance,
LLC, the first federally-approved Designated Agent of the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration
(SSA) for Form I-9 employment verifications, today announced that
it has launched the first web-based service that enables employers
to easily conduct legal right to work Form I-9 employment verifications
on new employees.
With the passage
of The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), founders
of Form I-9 Compliance worked closely with the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) to develop the original Form I-9
and have been providing I-9 consulting services since. In 2003,
they began working on the patent pending service announced today.
Form I-9 Compliance’s proprietary system and integration
with the federal government’s Employment Verification Program
allows employers to quickly and accurately verify new employees’
legal right to work in the United States. Using specific information
contained on the Form I-9, Form I-9 Compliance electronically
verifies the accuracy of employees’ Social Security and
Immigration “A” numbers through DHS and SSA databases
and provides the employer with a DHS-issued unique verification
number.
Form I-9 Compliance
will provide its services directly to employers and through value-added
resellers. InfoLink Screening Services, a national provider of
employment background screening services, is the first company
to begin offering its clients Form I-9 services “Powered
by Form I-9 Compliance.” These services include:
• Automated
legal “right to work” verifications through the DHS
and SSA. After spending time and money to recruit and hire new
employees, companies can now take the final step and gain peace
of mind that their employees’ Social Security and Immigration
documents are valid.
• A
self-correcting web-based Form I-9 that virtually eliminates human
errors in the document completion process. Most employers are
not aware of the processing errors that are made in completing
the Form I-9 and the exposure to government fines for noncompliance.
Form I-9 Compliance’s electronic Form I-9 substantially
decreases such errors and helps ensure companies’ compliance.
• Electronic
storage and retrieval of active and inactive I-9 Forms. Companies
will benefit from the convenience and cost savings of 24/7 secure,
paperless access to their I-9 Forms for updating, re-verification
and governmental inspection as dictated by law.
• Proactive,
automated alerts 90, 60 and 30-days in advance of the expiration
of employees’ work authorization documents. Automated notifications
to employers will enable their employees to apply for renewal
of their work authorizations and greatly increase the probability
that they can legally continue to work without interruption.
• Identification
of current employees with fraudulent Social Security numbers.
Through the SSA’s Employee Verification Service, Form I-9
Compliance can help employers improve the accuracy of payroll
and tax reporting and prevent SSA inquiries concerning unmatched
Social Security accounts.
• Professional
consulting services performed by trained and experienced I-9 consultants,
including former INS officials and executive-level Human Resources
professionals. Form I-9 Compliance’s confidential consulting
services include comprehensive audits of an employer’s Form
I-9 program and processes, error identification and corrective
recommendations, Form I-9 administration training and more.
“Form
I-9 Compliance helps companies increase the efficiency and validity
of their Form I-9 verifications and processes,” said John
Hermann, President of Form I-9 Compliance, LLC. “Our services
cost-effectively reduce exposure to government audits, financial
penalties and negative publicity that can and does result when
companies do not comply with IRCA.”
