Foundations of HR & Employment Law
Right to work and I-9 verification
The process employers use to confirm a new hire is legally allowed to work in the U.S. and to retain proof without using a prescribed federal form template.
"I need to make sure our new hire can work here — and keep the proof, but I don't want to accidentally ask for the wrong documents."
Right-to-work verification is checking a person's legal authorization to work in the U.S.; I-9 procedures are how employers gather, review, and retain acceptable proof of identity and work authorization while following timing and anti-discrimination rules.
