These documents are stored in the SuccessFactors Document Repository. The I-9 form must be physically signed by someone designated by the company as an Authorized Representative. The representative then faxes or emails the I-9 form to the corporate office. After the I-9 form is sent, the new employee clicks the link their notification to alert the Hiring Manager that the form has been faxed/mailed. Once the Hiring Manager is notified, the Onboarding process is complete.

Note

  • The interaction between the employee and hiring manager in completing the I-9 Form is supported by email notifications throughout the Remote Employee process starting from the New Employee Step and including E-Verify Process responses
  • The key RemoteHire is  used to identify if a candidate is a remote employee
