Build audit-ready I-9 workflows from day one
WorkBright supports remote I-9 verification, in-person I-9 verification, and the DHS alternative procedure I-9 — keeping every hire compliant, consistent, and audit-ready.
WorkBright's patented remote I-9 process
WorkBright’s patented remote I-9 process makes remote I-9 verification simple and audit-ready.
- Acceptable documents made easy: Employees submit identity documents from any smart device, with built-in document verification that flags compliance risks on the spot.
- Patented geo-validation for compliance: Geolocation confirms the employee and representative are together during inspection, creating an encrypted audit trail that meets USCIS requirements.
- Remote authorized representative process: Step-by-step guidance standardizes Section 2 completion for every representative, reducing errors and rework.
Scalable in-person I-9 verification
WorkBright's in-person I-9 verification creates a standardized process, reducing the handoff errors that create compliance risk at the point of hire.
- User-friendly workflow: Employees complete Section 1 on a secure device with guided prompts, eliminating user friction and error.
- Unified Section 2 completion: Employers review documents and complete Section 2 in a single workflow, eliminating system switching and saving time.
- Standardized accuracy at scale: Built-in prompts enforce consistency across every submission, preventing errors that trigger compliance risk.
- Real-time audit-ready records: Everything is captured digitally at the point of hire, so records are ready and defensible if you're audited.
DHS alternative procedure I-9
WorkBright supports the DHS alternative procedure I-9, helping teams manage compliant virtual verification.
- Flexible remote initiation: Employees receive a text or email to complete Section 1 and securely upload documents from any device — removing location barriers to starting verification.
- Live video document inspection: Employers review documents over video to satisfy DHS requirements while supporting a fully remote hiring process.
- Built-in compliance documentation: The workflow captures the required alternative procedure checkbox to meet all compliance requirements.
- Seamless E-Verify integration: Cases — including edge cases — are submitted and managed directly in WorkBright, keeping federal requirements on track in one platform.
