Thanks Patrick. I have seen the law and the rule, but my question is
with the filing method, regardless of media. The law says employers may
copy documents for Sect 2, but if they do, they must be attached to the
I-9. I would like to not attach the copies of documents, since it is not
required (less to manage, less available for audit, etc). I wanted to
see what others were doing about this filing method. From what I have
found when I googled this, it seems like many people are keeping copies of
the documents. Is the reason for keeping them maybe--just in case, or is
it based on real experiences? I have seen three different law firms with
instructions on their web sites and two say don't attach and one said to
attach. Maybe it doesn't matter if they are attached or not as long as
the filing method is consistent. Thanks everyone, Susan
DHS put out some proposed / interim revised rules around 15 June 2006 that
clarified this issue. In general, the revised rules do not require that an
employer maintain supporting documentation.
