University of North Georgia (1688¿ª½±Íø) complies with federal and state laws and regulations concerning verification of identity, employment eligibility and associated recordkeeping for employees hired to work in the United States. All new hires and rehires (both citizen and noncitizen) are required to complete Form I-9.

Form I-9

This form allows employers to verify the identity and employment authorization of each employee. The university is subject to periodic audits by the federal government and is subject to large fines for non-compliance. Completion of Form I-9 is a shared responsibility of both the employee and the university.

E-Verify

University of North Georgia is an E-Verify employer. E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information entered by an employer from an employee’s Form I-9, to records available from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to confirm employment eligibility.

1688¿ª½±Íø uses an online system, Equifax Workforce Solutions, to collect and process the required documentation from new hires to comply with these laws. There are four 1688¿ª½±Íø campuses where an I-9 can be processed. There are also options for remote and out of state employees to complete the form with an authorized representative.
