3 I-9 Online I-9 Regulations and Procedure I-9 Employment Authorization Requirements The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act requires all U.S. employers to verify the identity and work authorization or eligibility of all employees hired after November 6, 1986, whether U.S. citizens or not. The University of Virginia uses I-9 Online a web-based employment eligibility service to enter, verify, document, and ensure employment eligibility for all new employees. All new employees, including student employees, must complete Section 1 of the I-9 form (online) no later than the first day of employment. Once the new employee has completed Section 1, they must bring identification proving their identity and authorization to work in the United States with them on their first day of employment for the I9 specialist to complete section 2. The I-9 Specialist must complete Section 2 no later than the 3rd business day after the employee s first day of employment. All I-9s will be completed online, and will remain electronic viewable documents. Page 1
