New Virtual I-9 Document Review Option: What Employers Need to Know

On August 17, Sidley partners hosted a webinar on the recent changes in the I-9 hiring process for all U.S. employers. Specifically, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS):

• announced the sunset of the COVID I-9 flexibility policies;
• established a new virtual option for qualified employers to verify the identity and work authorization of new hires; and
• published a new Form I-9 for the hiring process.

These announcements represent a significant change in the options that all U.S. employers have for the onboarding of new hires.

WHAT WILL BE DISCUSSED:

• How can my organization comply with the ending of the government’s COVID I-9 flexibility policies?
• Is the new virtual document verification option right for our organization? What are the risks?
• What are the best practices in implementing the new I-9 and virtual document verification process?

Speakers:

• Marketa Lindt, Partner
• Timothy Payne, Partner
• Aimee Mackay, Counsel
• Teodora Zlatkova, Immigration Attorney
