Regarding in-person I9 checks, I had a very interesting experience recently with a friend who was hired at a big 4 accounting firm. They deputize a friend of the employee (me) to verify that they have checked the I9 in person. They use a service for this: https://www.lawlogix.com/ https://www.lawlogix.com/
It was a very strange experience. Here I am a totally unrelated party becoming an "authorized representative" of the firm to look at a document and verify it's real. There was no real verification of me, mind you. I could have been anyone.
I have no idea how normalized this sort of thing has become, but I was quite surprised that they appoint some random individual rather than have an actual employee do the document verification.
- Test0129 4y agoI found this process strange at the last company I worked. While the service required photo evidence of the documents they allowed you to elect a "representative" who can verify the documents physically. Typically at other jobs I had that were remote a company official would verify photo copies of the documents and use either a video chat or other means to corroborate them.
