InfoLink Screening Services Launches New Automated Solution for Form I-9 Employment Verifications and Additional Form I-9 Services
InfoLink Screening Services announced the launch of new Form I-9 employment verification services. InfoLink will provide real-time Form I-9 employment eligibility verifications, a self-correcting electronic Form I-9 that helps eliminate errors, secure paperless storage of I-9 Forms, proactive automated alerts of employee's expiring work authorizations and I-9 consulting services.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 14, 2005 -- InfoLink Screening Services, a
nationwide provider of employment background checks, drug testing and physical
exams, today announced that it has launched a new automated solution for Form
I-9 compliance services, including the first web-based service for verifying
employees have a legal right to work in the United States.
InfoLink's
secure, web-based service powered by Form I-9 Compliance enables employers to
conduct Form I-9 employment eligibility verifications through the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) and Social Security Administration (SSA). Employers are
able to use the information on newly hired employees' I-9 Forms to verify the
accuracy of Social Security and Immigration "A" numbers, and in real-time obtain
employee's' legal right to work status with a DHS-issued verification
number.
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 legally mandates
that U.S. employers verify the employment eligibility status of newly-hired
employees and makes it unlawful for employers to knowingly hire or continue to
employ unauthorized workers. Noncompliance, whether intentional or caused simply
by oversight, has severe legal and financial consequences imposed by the DHS, as
well as the potential of a corporate image tarnished by negative publicity.
In addition to employment eligibility verifications, InfoLink will also
offer the following services to help companies manage their Form I-9
processes:
• A self-correcting electronic Form I-9 that virtually eliminates
processing errors and simplifies the document completion process.
• Secure,
paperless Form I-9 storage, providing anytime, anywhere online access for
updating, re-verification and governmental inspection.
• Automated alerts in
advance of employees’ expiring work authorizations, enabling employees to renew
their work authorization documents and legally continue to work without
interruption.
• Pre-filled employment eligibility verification forms if the
company has conducted a background check on the new employee through InfoLink or
uses an integrated ATS or HRIS solution.
• Form I-9 consulting services
performed by trained and experienced I-9 consultants including former INS
officials and executive-level Human Resources professionals.
InfoLink's
Form I-9 employment verification services:
• Provide peace of mind that new
employees’ Social Security and Immigration documents are valid.
• Simplify
and improve the efficiency of Form I-9 processes.
• Substantially decrease
human errors in completing I-9 Forms.
• Cost-effectively reduce exposure to
government audits, financial penalties and negative publicity resulting from
non-compliance.
• Improve the accuracy of payroll and tax reporting and helps
eliminate SSA inquiries concerning unmatched Social Security accounts by
identifying current employees with fraudulent Social Security
numbers.
"We are excited to be the first company to offer an automated,
web-based solution for ensuring U.S. business employ individuals who are legally
authorized to work in the United States," said Barry Nadell, president of
InfoLink Screening Services, Inc. "Because of our focus on legal compliance in
employment screening, we felt it was important for InfoLink to be an early mover
in Form I-9 compliance services. InfoLink’s Form I-9 employment verification
services provide business with new, efficient methods for managing their I-9
processes and complying with the law."
