On August 23, 2010 the finalized Form I-9 regulation recently issued by the Department Homeland Security takes effect. The new regulation allows employers to electronically complete, sign, and retain Forms I-9 and clarifies the rules for electronically creating and storing Forms I-9. The new regulation also mandates that employers must complete Section 2 of Form I-9 within three business, rather than calendar, days. More information about the new I-9 regulation can be found here, and the full text of the new regulation is available here.
