i9Check, the #1 Provider of Online I-9 Form Completion Software, Releases Small Business Version
i9Check web-based software helps businesses comply with I-9 employment eligibility regulations. A new small-business version has been released to assist small-businesses with this administrative burden.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2005 -- In response to tremendous interest in i9Checks online I9 form completion software, i9Check released a I9 software package on February 11, 2005, designed specifically for small businesses. This new software package will assist small business in complying with burdensome I9 regulations and procedures while streamlining and expediting the process.
The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act requires all U.S. employers to verify the employment authorization of all employees hired after November 6, 1986. Employers must maintain and update I-9 forms for each employee and be ready to present them quickly to a Department of Homeland Security or Department of Labor agent in the event of an audit. While large companies typically have more resources and personnel devoted to preparing and managing these forms, small businesses typically do not, resulting in incorrectly completed I9 forms or forms not being completed at all.
The penalties for this omission are significant. An employer who fails to have the I9 form properly completed risks being significantly fined for noncompliance. Fines for simple paperwork violations range from $110.00 - $1,100.00 per form to $275.00 - $11,000.00 for the employment of unauthorized workers. Deficient I-9 form preparation could potentially subject a company to tens of thousands of dollars in penalties and even imprisonment.
i9Check software greatly simplifies the I9 form completion process by guiding users to proper completion of the I-9 form. Helpful tips, drop-down menus, and sample documents are readily available to guide the user through the entire process. The end result is an I9 form that is accurately completed pursuant to I-9 regulations.
Created by a team of I-9 legal counsel and IT experts, i9Check software provides protections against discriminatory and overdocumentation conduct by company representatives. It ensures that required fields are completed on the I9 form thus providing solid procedural protection. With i9Check, employers can avoid potential liability caused by negligent, ignorant, or even discriminatory behavior.
As a web-based product, i9Check software is accessible anywhere without the need to deal with the hassle of software installation and upgrades. Designed specifically for small businesses, this new version of the i9Check software possesses useful features that are reasonably priced to fit a small-business budget.
