May I fire an employee who fails to produce the required documents within three business days of his or her start date?
HRCalifornia
Yes. You may terminate an employee who fails to produce the required document or documents or an acceptable receipt for a document, within three business days of the date employment begins.
Employers that fail to properly complete Form I-9 risk violating federal law and may be subject to monetary penalties.
You can find more information in the I-9 Form: Verifying Information section of the HR Library.
