Record-Keeping Requirements for I-9 Forms
Effective date:
Aug. 23, 2007
In Chapter 13, we misstated the rule regarding how long you have to keep an employee's I-9 form. (The I-9 form is the official document you must use to verify every new employee's eligibility to work in the United States.) Although you don't have to file these forms with the government, you do have to retain them for three years after the employee was hired or one year after a former employee is terminated, whichever is later -- not whichever is earlier, as we inadvertently stated in Chapter 13. We apologize for the error.
