After three years of leniency, The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is ending its temporary COVID-19-related I-9 policies. US employers will no longer be exempt from in-person inspections of new hires’ identity and employment eligibility forms. The government will end the granted flexibility from 2020, effective July 31, 2023.
What this Means for Employers:
- All I-9 Documents must be physically inspected in person regardless of employees’ status as remote, hybrid or in-person starting July 31, 2023.
- All I9 forms must be completed within 72 hours of the employee’s start date.
