Frequently asked questions about e-signatures and I-9s in agriculture

Can I complete and store I-9 electronically?

Employers who wish to implement an electronic Form I-9 with an electronic signature function may re-create a Form I-9 that includes such a function, as long as the resulting form is legible; there is no change to the name, content, or sequence of the data elements and instructions; no additional data elements or language are inserted; and the standards specified under 8 CFR 274a.2(e) through (i), as applicable, are met.  The system used to generate and store the electronic Form I-9 also must comply with regulations found at 8 CFR 274a.2 (e)-(i). The Form I-9 posted to the USCIS website does not currently have an electronic signature function.

Are Harvust electronic signatures valid?

Harvust complies with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act because its electronic signature processes ensures: 1) a clear intent to use electronic signatures and do business electronically; 2) signatures are directly associated with the electronic record and user placing them; 3) access to the records for all parties; and 4) prevention against tampering of electronic documents.

Am I required to save copies of the documents on my office computer, or can I leave them stored in your cloud/servers?

Employers are not required to store electronic copies of documents. While electronic copies of documents are always stored in our systems, it’s more important that you simply have a standard operating process for what you do with electronic documents, whether you discard them or save them and how, and that you follow that process for all employees. Harvust never stores verification documentation.

If I do electronic signatures do I also have to do e-verify?

No, E-Verify is an optional service provided by the federal government to confirm work status. No employer is required to use E-Verify, but it does minimize risk by confirming with the United States government that an employee is eligible to work. Harvust does not integrate with E-Verify.

Do Form I-9s have to be stored with Payroll Records?

USCIS recommends that employers keep Form I-9 separate from personnel records to facilitate an inspection request. Form I-9s should correspond to your employees on payrolls, but should be stored separately.
