“These changes, they’re a pretty big deal,” TrendSource’s Client Success Manager Veronica Cruz said. “Some companies have hired hundreds of employees without in-person I-9s, and these hires are typically remote employees spread around the country."
Starting on August 1st, 2023, all I-9s must, once again, be completed in person. This comes after The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the end of the temporary flexibility that allowed for Section 2 of Form I-9 to be verified over video conference platforms.
Moreover, all I-9s which were completed virtually during this period, must now be re-done, in person, by August 30, 2023.
TrendSource—a compliance management firm based in San Diego, CA—has offered I-9 Verifications for nearly a decade, helping HR teams onboard employees wherever they reside. Utilizing a proprietary national database of Field Agents, TrendSource pairs New Hires with local Agents, and together they complete Section 2 of Form I-9 in person.
Now, with the recent news coming out of DHS, TrendSource I-9 Verifications are uniquely positioned to help companies rapidly complete in-person I-9s by the August 30 deadline, including helping onboard remote employees while still meeting the in-person requirements.
