The labor and employment attorneys of our strategic partner McAfee & Taft have published an important Labor & Employment Alert announcing just-released changes by the federal government
that affects all employers:
On November 7, 2007, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released the revised I-9 form and the updated Handbook for Employers, Instructions for Completing the Form I-9. The revised I-9 form reduces the number of documents an employer may accept for newly hired employees to verify employment eligibility pursuant to the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
Employers must begin using the 2007 edition of the I-9 form immediately because all previous versions of the form are no longer valid.
