Concept: Electronic Form I-9 Workflow
An employee can
complete an electronic Form I-9 when the:
- Employee has no otherComplete Form I-9events in progress.
- Hire process is complete.
- Position is based in the U.S.
- EnableE-Verifyintegration.
- Progress the Form I-9 through Workday business processes.
Employees can access the
self-service task to initiate the
Complete Form I-9
business process.
Regardless of how the Form I-9 initiates, employees
electronically sign the Form I-9.Section 1. Employee Information and Attestation
- The employee fills out the form, provides any required or optional data, and selects the appropriate check boxes.
- When you want the date of birth and SSN data from theComplete Form I-9task to override the employee's profile information, you can select theOverride employee profile Date of Birth and SSN with Form I-9 datacheck box on theMaintain Form I-9 Settingstask. When the employee submits the Form I-9, Workday overrides the SSN and date of birth from the Form I-9 to replace the SSN and date of birth on their HR record.Selecting this check box doesn't send notifications or acknowledgments of this change.
- When you rescind theComplete Form I-9business process, these processes are also rescinded.
Preparer and/or Translator Certification
Employees can add up to 5 preparers or translators.
Employers:
- Can't add preparers or translators in Section 2.
- Can send back the Form I-9 to the employee to add or remove preparers or translators.
Section 2. Employer or Authorized Representative Review and Verification
- Enter documents fromList A, orList BandList C, then provide the necessary document details.Workday filters the selection lists in prompts for Lists A, B, and C based on the citizenship or immigration status the employee selects and provides a validation to ensure accurate data entry.
- When the employee provides a Social Security card as a List C document, you must enter the number in List C manually.
- When Workday selects the issuing authority that corresponds to a document, you can override this value.
- You can send the form back to the employee to enter missing data or make corrections.
- Select theI Agreecheck box, which serves as an electronic signature.
- You can configure Workday to populate the employer name, title, organization, and address in this section. Workday adds the current date stamp before you approve the form.
- If necessary, you can select anOverdue Reason.
(Optional) E-Verify Integration
- You can configure Workday to send the employee Form I-9 data to E-Verify automatically.
- When the original Form I-9 has questionable data, E-Verify requests reverification. Workday displays customized instructions on theForm I-9 Data Verificationevent indicating which items are in question. You can correct supporting document information, but corrections to Section 1 must come from the employee.
- You can configure Workday to:
- View cases created for an employee in the last 365 days. You can close a duplicate case before creating a new one at E-Verify.
- Sync updated case statuses from E-Verify on a recurring basis.
- Depending on the documents provided by the employee, E-Verify returns an employee photo for you to verify. E-Verify determines requirements for photo matching. If a photo is missing or doesn't match, you must upload images of your employee's document.
- E-Verify might request that you upload front and back images of a document without requiring you to confirm if the photo matches or is missing.
- Workday resubmits the information, and E-Verify returns the employment authorization status. When the authorization is:
- Successful, Workday closes the E-Verify case and automatically completes the finalization step on the Workday business process.
- Unsuccessful, Workday maintains the E-Verify case number so you can resolve the case manually on the E-Verify website. If you configure the integration to sync case statuses and you receive aU.S. Employment Verification Statusfrom E-Verify, Workday automatically completes theFinal U.S. Employment Verification Statusstep on the business process.
- If the E-Verify connection fails, Workday displays a status ofAwaiting E-Verify Submission. You can clickRetryto resubmit the information if you have permission on theProcess: Resubmit: Form I-9domain. If the Form I-9 is overdue, you can enter an overdue reason before you retry the E-Verify submission.
Manual Entry of Final U.S. Employment Verification Status
- You can use theFinal U.S. Employment Authorization Statusstep to enter employment eligibility details.
- When not using E-Verify, you can make an eligibility determination and enter it here.
- When E-Verify doesn't immediately return an authorization, Workday pauses theComplete Form I-9business process on this step. Workday also displays information from E-Verify so you can manually progress the Form I-9 at the E-Verify website. After resolution is reached with E-Verify, you can record the eligibility status and any additional information here. You can then submit theComplete Form I-9business process.
- When you select a status ofEmployment Not AuthorizedorVerification Not Determined, Workday automatically rescinds theEdit ID Informationbusiness process and removes the SSN and Form I-9 List A, B, and C document IDs from the worker record.
- When you enter an incorrect eligibility status or E-Verify case number and no steps remain in theComplete Form I-9business process, you can change the status or case number using theCorrectaction on the business process.
