US Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification (8 USC 1324a and 8 CFR Part 274a) 274a.2(b)(1)(i)(A): Have each new employee complete and sign Section 1 of Form I-9 at the time of hire, with any preparer or translator completing the certification

What does 274a.2(b)(1)(i)(A) require?

A person or entity that hires, or recruits or refers for a fee, an individual must ensure the individual properly completes Section 1 (Employee Information and Attestation) of Form I-9 at the time of hire (no earlier than acceptance of the offer and no later than the first day of work for pay) and signs the attestation under penalty of perjury by handwritten or compliant electronic signature. Where the individual cannot complete the form or needs it translated, a preparer or translator must read the form to them, assist with Section 1 and have the individual sign or mark it, and must complete the preparer or translator certification; a parent or legal guardian may complete Section 1 for a minor under 18 or a person with a disability placed by a nonprofit or rehabilitation program. Only the current edition of the form, in paper or electronic format, may be used.
