Wayne State University is using I-9 eXpress, a simple and fast online I-9 Form management program developed by TALX that allows us to manage our I-9 process and comply with the E-verify requirements. The Immigration Reform and Control Act requires every employer to obtain a Form I-9, employment eligibility certification, from every employee hired or rehired. In addition, employers are required to inspect documents which employees must present to support the Form I-9. Note that the Form I-9 is required of every employee. The federal government requires that employers complete the I-9 process within three (3) business days of the hire date or by the end of the first day if the employment is to last less than three days.
Thus, you cannot be hired, rehired, or paid until you complete the I-9 process. Employees who begin work, in violation of this policy, prior to employment eligibility clearance will not be paid for such service until completion of the I-9 and are not eligible for a salary advance until the I-9 is completed.
