Within how many days must the I9 form be completed after starting a job?

1. 1 day

2. 3 days

3. 5 days

4. 7 days

The correct answer is: 3 days

The I-9 form, which verifies an employee's identity and eligibility to work in the United States, must be completed within three days of starting a job. This requirement is established by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Employers are responsible for ensuring that the form is completed accurately within this timeframe. Completing the I-9 form in the specified period ensures compliance with immigration laws and provides the necessary documentation to confirm an employee's authorization to work. If the I-9 is not completed within three days, it can lead to violations and potential penalties for the employer. This timeframe helps in maintaining the integrity of the hiring process and ensuring that only eligible individuals are employed.
