You've gone through the hiring process. Now, it's time to fill out the paperwork.

E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information from an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to data from U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records to confirm employment eligibility. 

At the University of Colorado, I-9 and E-Verify information is completed electronically through HireRight's Single Sign-On (SSO) function. Electronic copying of verification information can be done through OnBase. 

HireRight’s I-9 Solution satisfies U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services requirements related to the electronic creation, signature, retention and security of the Form I-9.  This paperless process enables you to create, view, download, store and print the Form I-9, as well as run management reports on-demand. Built-in tools such as automated error checking help you complete forms accurately and promote compliance.

If you have questions about E-Verify and I-9 processes, please consult the handbook produced by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services: M-274 – Handbook for Employers, Guidance for Completing Form I-9.
