So Far Away: Completing I-9 Forms for Remote Workers | Practical Law
Under the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), every US employer must complete a Form I-9 for each employee within the first three days after the employee begins working. An employer that hires an employee who will work at remote worksites may designate an agent to complete the Form I-9. However, an employer must select an agent wisely, as it is liable for IRCA violations flowing from the agent's errors and omissions. Practical Law has a resource to help employers that must designate an agent to complete the I-9 form for remote workers.
