Work Eligibility Overview

In Beta
This feature is in beta. Contact your CSM to learn more.

Work Eligibility allows employers to track and retain employee I-9s within R365. Only locations connected to R365 Payroll can participate in I-9 verification, as the verification process requires that the employee is onboarded to payroll.

When I-9 verification is enabled for a location, all onboarded employees will have an I-9 created in R365. The I-9 process, including due dates and signature status, is monitored on the Work Eligibility page.

When an I-9 is created, the employee is prompted to complete their portion of the I-9 as part of onboarding in the My Pay section of the R365 Mobile App. If the employee is unable to complete the I-9, or refuses to use an electronic signature, the employer can complete the I-9 on their behalf.

  • To complete the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form on behalf of the employee, ensure that a paper version of the signed document has been reviewed.

After the employee has completed their portion of the I-9, the employer can review and sign the I-9.

I-9s cannot be deleted. If the I-9 for an employee is on file outside of R365, the I-9 in R365 can be waived.

  • Since federal law requires a physical or electronic copy of the employee’s I-9 form to be on file, users who waive the I-9 in R365 must acknowledge that the form has been reviewed and is stored outside of R365.

If the I-9 for an employee has been partially completed, fully completed, or waived, and needs to be cleared so that the employee can re-enter all information, the I-9 can be cleared and restarted.

If the I-9 for the employee cannot be signed and is not on file outside of R365, the employee can be separated directly from the Work Eligibility page.

Once completed, a full PDF version of the I-9 can be viewed and downloaded from the employee’s Work Eligibility folder.

The employee will have a Work Eligibility folder for each legal entity that they are onboarded to where one or more of the associated locations have I-9 verification enabled.
