Expanded I-9 capabilities in WorkBright
WorkBright now supports Section 3 and the Preparer/Translator sections of Form I-9, allowing you to handle additional hiring and administrative situations with ease. If you’re not familiar with these two lesser-utilized sections, let’s dig into the situations and processes behind each one, starting with I-9 Section 3.Â
What is Section 3?
You may have heard I-9 Section 3 referred to informally as, “Reverification”, but it actually has three functions: Reverify Documentation, Rehire Staff, and Change Name.
An employee may require the assistance of a third-party to complete Form I-9 because of a language barrier, disability, complexity, or a variety of other reasons. The Preparer/Translator Section is used to record information about the third party that provided assistance completing Form I-9.
For more specific guidance on Section 3, refer to the USCIS Employer Handbook.
How to Initiate Section 3 in WorkBright
From any I-9 submission page, a WorkBright administrator will have two options to initiate Section 3 workflows: Complete Section 3 or Reverify.
Complete Section 3: This workflow encompasses any combination of the three functions listed above. For example, you could complete both a rehire and name change in a single submission. If using Reverification in this workflow, the WorkBright admin initiating the process will be completing a physical inspection of the employee’s EAD. Â
Reverify: In contrast to the admin-facilitated reverify above, this option allows an employee to reverify their EAD without meeting with a company representative. In this instance, WorkBright would instruct the employee to delegate a third-party to physically inspect their documents and complete Section 3. This is fast and convenient to facilitate, while also providing a complete audit trail and images of the EAD for administrative review in WorkBright.Â
Preparer/Translator Section
An employee may require the assistance of a third-party to complete Form I-9 because of a language barrier, disability, complexity, or a variety of other reasons. The Preparer/Translator Section is used to record information about the third party that provided assistance completing Form I-9.
How To Utilize Preparer/Translator in WorkBright
During the Section 1 process, WorkBright will ask if the form was completed with the assistance of a preparer or translator. If yes, the preparer/translator will provide their name, address, and signature, which will be entered into the Preparer/Translator Section of the completed Form I-9.Â
