I-9 Section 1 Correction - Recruiter Experience

Overview

Employers are responsible for ensuring that the information on the I-9 Form I-9 to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. is accurate to the best of their knowledge. When an error is found in Section 1, a correction can be submitted instead re-completing the entire form.

Reasons for Section 1 corrections may include updating incorrectly entered data, or re-opening Section 1 for candidates to review.

Initiating a Correction

In order for a correction to be initiated, a completed, signed Section 1 must exist. It doesn't matter whether Section 2 has been completed. For this correction process, we will assume that Section 1 has already been completed and an error has been identified.
Regardless of which Signed Section 1 document is chosen, the system will always use the information from the most recently signed Section 1.

You can initiate a Section 1 correction from the I-9 Details Panel, or from the Applicant (or Candidate or Talent) Customer talent - the person applying or hired for the job > Onboarding page. The correction process is the same, regardless of where the correction is initiated.

From the I-9 Details Panel

Navigate to I-9 / E-Verify An online system that confirms the eligibility of an Employee to work in the United States.

The slide out details will show the status of Correction Issued
The correction that is in progress will display a status of Pending until it has been signed.

On the Applicant > Onboarding page the correction will show in the Document Package A group of Forms grouped together based on Location, Client, or other internal design that can be assigned as a single Task column marked with Correction
