5.10. Preparing to Re-Onboard Employees
Introduction
Filling out an I-9 properly on paper can be difficult, so EOS's re-onboarding process is designed to help you bring your existing I-9's into compliance. EOS will also monitor your uploaded I-9's and alert you when an employee is due for re-verification.
There are a number of things you need to do before you start the re-onboarding process in EOS. This article will help you to get ready to re-onboard your employees.
Preparation Steps
- Compile a list of the employees to be re-onboarded in EOS.
- If an employee does not yet exist in EOS, you will create an employee record for them during the re-onboarding process. You will need the following information:
- First and last names
- Start date (first day of work)
- Email address, if applicable
- Work location
- Tax state
- You can also enter additional information, such as Organization Level, Supervisor, etc., but that information is not required.
- Gather the I-9 forms that you currently have on file for these employees, along with any copies you made of their identification documents.
- Audit each of the I-9 forms for completeness and accuracy.
- If only minor corrections are necessary to bring a form into compliance, you can follow the proper procedures and make corrections to the original paper copy of the I-9 before scanning it. Please refer to the I-9 Central web site for information about correcting I-9's: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/complete-correct-form-i-9/correcting-form-i-9.
- If corrections are to be made in EOS, make a note about whether Section 1, Section 2 or both sections need to be corrected.
- Contact your EOS representative if you would like information about hiring someone to provide Form I-9 audit and correction services or guidance.
- Scan each employee's I-9 form along with the copies of their identification document(s).
- Save the scan(s) into a single file per employee.
- The file can be an image file, PDF or Word document, whichever is most convenient for you.
- Decide if you want your employees to complete any other documents as part of the re-onboarding process.
- The I-9 is the only form that will automatically be assigned to re-onboarded employees.
- As you process each employee, EOS will present you with a list of the standard onboarding forms (Employee Data Sheet, W-4, state withholding forms, etc). You can select any that you want to that employee to complete as part of their re-onboarding activity.
- If you want to assign custom forms and/or policies to your employees, use the targeting feature for the appropriate form or policy.
