I-9 Question

1945599

A large part of our work force is seasonal, working three to four months a year. (Mostly college students) For a number of reason's we terminate these employes at the end of the year (November or December) and then re-hire them in June if they apply for another season. When they are hired for the first time we complete an I-9. The first season that they come back we use the portion of the I-9 that allows you to show a re-hire date. My question is: is there anyway to keep from having to complete a new I-9 on the 2nd or 3rd re-hire.

My thought has been to just add a note to the existing I-9 showing the additional re-hire dates. Your thoughts please.

If I read the employer instructions correctly, you can recertify for up to 3 years from the original I-9, either on the same (original) I-9 or a new one that is attached to the original. I haven't read anything that limits the rehire to one, but there is a 3-year limit on the original certification.

More clearly, I think you can recertify with each hire until the original is 3 years old.
