What controls are in place to verify that the data entered is accurate since we are not making copies of the employees documentation?
The best control is to use the E-Verify feature. This feature is designed to be used with the I-9 process and take the guesswork out of verifying employee documents. In addition to the E-Verify option, the service incorporates edits designed to prevent invalid information from being entered on an I-9. Ultimately, the final control is the employer’s representative who is responsible for reviewing the employee’s work eligibility documents and signing the I-9 under the penalty of perjury. The employee is also signing under penalty of perjury.
