Interest in the U.S. federal government’s “Basic
Pilot” Employment Verification Program for I-9
compliance continues to gain momentum, as evidenced by the record
response to a recent HR.com webcast hosted by TALX Corporation (NASDAQ:
TALX). Registration for the one-hour online learning event was at
capacity with 1,550 participants, as HR professionals from across the
United States eagerly sought more information on the “Basic
Pilot” Program and how to achieve electronic
I-9 compliance.
Originally broadcast live on November 29, 2006, the webcast’s
panel featured Gerri Ratliff, chief of the Verification Division, U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services; Scott Mezistrano, senior manager
of Government Relations, American Payroll Association and Dave Fowler,
senior director of Product Strategy, TALX Corporation. An archive of the
TALX webcast is now available at no charge by visiting the TALX website
at www.talx.com. It is also available
at no charge on HR.com www.hr.com for
all community members. HR.com membership is free and includes access to
all live and archived webcasts, blogs, discussion forums, polls and a
library of over 25,000 HR-related articles.
“Whether you’re a
large employer with multiple offices across the U.S., or a small
business, the I-9 situation represents risk and liability,”
commented Dave Fowler of TALX. “Taking
aggressive steps to better define and automate this part of the HR
process can directly impact an organization’s
bottom-line.”
The electronic I-9 has been a hot topic since June 2006 when a new
interim rule was issued by the Department of Homeland Security allowing
employers to complete, sign and store their required Employment
Eligibility Verification I-9 forms electronically. The “Basic
Pilot” Program allows a company to reduce
risk by verifying social security numbers and work authorizations.
Electronic I-9s provide other benefits such as measuring compliance,
identifying missing I-9s, online reverification notices, and removing
old I-9s per retention requirements. Employers can also convert existing
paper I-9s to electronic storage to eliminate manual processes, measure
compliance across the organization, and easily respond to internal or
external audits.
The interactive webcast, entitled The Federal “Basic
Pilot” Program and Electronic I-9 Compliance,
addresses several key issues surrounding electronic I-9s including
implementation options, best practices, and compliance with the interim
rules.
TALX Corporation’s electronic I-9 services
are designed to alleviate the difficulties involved complying with
federal regulations. TALX helps employers maintain compliance with
immigration regulations, while eliminating paper and manual processes.
