Can an employer complete Page 2 of the Form I-9 before the employee’s first day of employment?
HRCalifornia
No. Section 2 must be completed within three business days of the date that they start work. For example, if an employee begins employment on Monday, you must review the employee’s documentation and complete Section 2 on or before Wednesday of that week. If an employee is hired to work for one day, then the Form I-9 must be completed on their first day of employment.
