# Change an I-9 Start Date

In Beta

This feature is in [beta](/doc/docs/user-research). Contact your CSM to learn more.

The due dates of I-9s are based on the start date of the I-9 process, which should match the date the employee starts working for the associated legal entity. By default, the start date of an I-9 is set to the employee’s hire date. If the employee started work for the legal entity on a date other than their hire date, the start date for the I-9 process can be changed.

The start date for I-9s are changed on the [Work Eligibility page](/doc/docs/work-eligibility-page).

The due date of an I-9 is automatically set as 3 days after the start date.

## Security

Users must have the following permission to change an I-9’s start date:

- Labor → Work Eligibility → I-9 Form → Edit I-9

These permissions can be added to [custom user roles](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/custom-user-roles) or [individual users](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/users-overview-and-security). The [Permission Access report](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/generating-a-permissions-access-report) can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see [User Setup and Security](/doc/docs/user-setup-security-and-location-access).
