Virtual Capability Will Help Employers More
Easily Onboard Remote Workers Amidst New DHS Regulations
ATLANTA, Oct. 26,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Equifax® (NYSE: EFX) is
addressing the growing demand for flexible, remote onboarding
services by offering a virtual component of its award-winning I-9
Anywhere® solution. This enhancement will make it
easier for eligible employers to streamline their onboarding
processes and enhance new hire experiences. The new capability will
align with the recent U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
announcement enabling employers who participate in E-Verify and are
in good standing to have the option to conduct Form I-9
verification electronically and with a live video call
interaction.
As employers navigate the changing regulatory landscape, many
are seeking new solutions and processes that provide an additional
degree of flexibility. The new I-9 Anywhere virtual component will
offer employers a fully outsourced I-9 solution – regardless of
where their new hires are located.
"The new I-9 Anywhere virtual option is one more way we are
helping businesses simplify complex HR processes," said
Lisa Chall, Vice President of
Onboarding & Talent Solutions at Equifax Workforce Solutions.
"We're helping employers offer their new hires an easier,
mobile-first onboarding experience that supports today's
workforce."
The virtual option will complement the existing I-9 Anywhere
in-person process. It will provide employers who participate in
E-Verify and are in good standing with the flexibility to have the
new hire schedule an in-person appointment at an I-9 Anywhere
location or through a video call in order to complete the necessary
employment documentation.
Equifax Workforce Solutions expects to launch the new I-9
Anywhere virtual option prior to the end of the year, and remains
committed to driving innovation and expanding its leading
onboarding solution suite. To learn more about I-9 Anywhere, I-9
