15. Upon hiring an employee there is an I-9 Form that the employer must provide and the employee filled out,....

.... by the employee before they can be put on the payroll. This I-9 Form determines whether a person can be employed to work in America.

Every prospective employee is required by US Immigration authorities to fill out a Form I-9.

Form I-9 is an eligibility form required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) to verify the identity and legal work eligibility of unauthorized immigrants. In fact, if an employer does not include the proper documents for I-9 verification, they may risk legal complications and fines. This is why verifying each employee’s eligibility for employment is a critical part of the hiring process and should be part of your new hire onboarding checklist, whether hiring your first employee or one hundredth.
