I-9 Forms “IRCA”: All employers must verify that employees are either U.S. citizens or authorized to work in the United States. Verification requires that new employees produce specific documents proving their identity and employment eligibility and that both employee and employer complete the Form 1-9. All employers that fail to comply with the documentation requirements or that knowingly hire or continue to employ an unauthorized alien may be subject to substantial penalties of thousands of dollars depending on the nature and number of violations.
