Department of Homeland Security Form I-9 must be completed and submitted to the Payroll Office immediately upon the hiring of
a new employee.
Federal and State law requires that an employee’s employment eligibility must be confirmed using E-verify within 3 days of hire.
A correctly completed I-9 is required in order to complete the E-verify process.

Facts
To insure that ASU adheres to this new mandate, Financial Services at ASU now requires that all staff who are responsible for submitting
I-9 forms be authorized.
To become authorized you simply need to complete this course and answer a few test questions at the end.
A PDF document of the Form I-9 is available for your reference in the Resource area of this course.

Why Authorization?
Submitting a late or incorrect Form I-9 (and New Hire Packet) to Financial Services/Payroll may cause these problems:
• It may affect the individual’s start date.
• Benefits could be delayed
• Their paycheck could be delayed
• We would not be able to E-Verify employment timely which would have serious consequences to ASU as it’s required for entities
having federal contracts and research funding.
• If it is the department’s or ASU's fault (mistake) it can delay when the new employee receives their first check.

Question 2
Can I accept documents that used to be on the Form I-9 but aren’t now?
No. Employers may only accept documents listed on the List of Acceptable Document on Form I-9. When re-verifying employees, employers should ensure that they use the new Form I-9 with its updated list of acceptable documents.
NOTE: The ORIGINAL documents must be used to collect this information. ASU CANNOT accept photocopies.

Question 3Is the Form I-9 available in different languages?The form I-9 is available in English and Spanish. However, only employers in
Puerto Rico may have employees complete the Spanish version for their records. Employers in the 50 states and other U.S. territories may use the Spanish version as a translation guide for Spanish-speaking employees, but must complete the English version and keep it in the employer’s records. Employees may also use or ask for a translator/preparer to assist them in completing the form.
