“Nothing’s certain but death and taxes.”
It’s a common adage and, as clichés go, it is pretty accurate. Except, for people living in the United States, there are several other certainties that, try as you may, are simply impossible to avoid.
Among these certainties we could also count social security, selective service registration and, of course, Form I-9. Form I-9 is a mandatory cornerstone of employment eligibility compliance, which is mandatory for any business operating in the United States. Like death and taxes, Form I-9 is just a simple fact of life, no matter the company size.
You Can’t Avoid I-9s, But You Can Outsource Them
For employers and employees alike, there is simply no avoiding Form I-9. They must be completed within three days of the hire date—anything else is noncompliant and results in fines and other punishment.
But there is a way around them—outsourcing them to compliance experts like TrendSource.
Indeed, the federal government permits companies to hire compliance firms to handle their employment eligibility compliance efforts.
Outsourcing I-9s to compliance experts presents several benefits, including:
- Unburdening HR to focus on more crucial company initiatives
- Adding speed and cost-efficiency to employment eligibility compliance
- Bringing confidence to compliance by trusting experts
- Improving the onboarding experience for New Hires
While I-9s are as certain as taxes and perhaps death, there is a way around them. You cannot outsource death.
