6 medic restore the health of your archived i-9s RESTORE THE HEALTH OF YOUR ARCHIVED I-9s The Most Precise Way to Compliantly Correct Historic I-9s Digitally Correct and Convert Paper Form I-9s Many organizations continue to store archived paper Form I-9s, which are not up-to-date, securely stored, or compliant. One of the largest risks companies face is failure to comply with employment eligibility and I-9 verification. Since the Department of Homeland Security s 70-page Form I-9 handbook is difficult to navigate, attempting to self-correct archived Form I-9s may increase your risk of fines due to invalid data.

I-9 Medic eliminates the risk of human error, and reduces preparation time for an audit from days to minutes. Become an I-9 expert with our fully automated, wizard-driven system. After your archived forms are digitized, our advisory tool will remove the guesswork and ambiguity of how to amend a failed I-9, by providing guidance to the user on how to compliantly correct each Form I-9.

9 SEAMLESS INTEGRATION Don t Change a Thing. Our advanced cloud-service platform seamlessly integrates with your existing HR, payroll, or other system of record, and enables you to create a new custom solution. Seamless integration is accomplished through our REST API. An API, or Application Programming Interface, allows technology products and services to communicate with one another. APIs can work with any programming language. The most popular approach to delivering an API over the web is REST, or Representational State Transfer. Our industry standard REST API Technology Platform provides the easiest way for data to be sent from one web-based system to another, and greatly reduces time and costs associated with integrations. I-9 Advantage s REST API Technology also offers multiple data interchange formats (XML, JSON) for you to choose from, providing you the most flexibility to connect to us.

Secure single sign-on is based on a combination of industry, and proprietary encryption key technology to ensure a simple, secure experience. 9

10 READY. SET. AUDIT. Think you re ready for an audit, or that the likelihood of your organization getting audited is improbable? The truth is if you are not 100% compliant, then you are at a high risk. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is aggressively enforcing and auditing Form I-9 compliance. Your business could be next. If your organization is issued a Notice of Inspection by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) you may only have three days to prepare. Over 68% of Form I-9s contain errors which could result in thousands of dollars of fines per form. ICE has increased the number of audits across the country covering all industries and business sizes, which is why over 1,000 clients and 100+ partners trust I-9 Advantage to prepare them for the possibility of an audit. You re Always Prepared. Our advanced cloud-based software solutions are designed with a 185-point error-checking algorithm and 20-Tier validation to maintain complete compliance. You re prepared for a Form I-9 audit from Immigration and Custom Enforcement or the Office of Special Counsel (OSC). Our system virtually eliminates the possibility of errors, missed or duplicate data, and automatically purges Form I-9s that should be eliminated according to the three-year/ one-year rule. Our system also maintains a legally compliant audit trail for every action made within the system. E-Verify Our compliance solutions provide you with the option to instantly submit I-9s to DHS s E-Verify system. Immediately receive responses for any tentative non-confirmation notices (TNC), along with step-by-step guidance. COMMON MISTAKES MADE BY COMPANIES Lack of Expertise Failing to comprehend the complex 70-page Form I-9 handbook leaves ample room for administrative errors on Form I-9s. Failure to Use the Proper Form I-9 U.S. Immigration Services periodically issues new versions of the Form I-9. Employers should ensure that they are using the latest version of the Form I-9 in order to maintain compliance. Timing Employers cannot afford to fall behind in getting Form I-9s completed; Section 1 must be completed within one business day of work for pay, and section 2 must be completed within three business days. Failure to Review Employee s Section 2 Documents Form I-9s require an in-person review of the employee s verification documents. This is a challenge for remote hires where a company agent does not have a physical presence. Invalid or Missing Data It is easy for employees and HR administrators to fill in form fields incorrectly. Common form errors include missing signatures and incorrect dates. Telling the Employee What Docs to Produce Employees must provide either one List A document, or one List B and one List C document. Employers who specify which documents an employee provides violate the Anti-Discrimination Provisions of the Immigration Nationality Act (INA). 10

11 LET S RECAP What s the difference between Form I-9 and E-Verify? Form I-9 is a document used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired in the United States. All U.S. employers must ensure proper completion of Form I-9 for every individual they hire. E-Verify is a web-based service operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Social Security Administration. E-Verify allows employers to verify the eligibility of their newly hired employees to legally work in the United States, with information from the Form I-9. Unlike the Form I-9 which is mandated by the Federal Government, E-Verify is mandated by each individual state. Why is I-9 Advantage better than a paper-based Form I-9? Using a paper Form I-9 increases your chances of human error and non-compliance with federal regulations, which can lead to hefty fines if your organization receives an audit from Immigration & Customs Enforcement. The I-9 Advantage system virtually eliminates the possibility of missed or duplicate data, and offers the only end-to-end automated solution that protects against costly government audits.
