MEMPHIS, Tenn. - June 23, 2008 - Verified Person, Inc., a national provider of on-demand background screening services, today affirmed its commitment to going green with the addition of a paperless I-9 Verification tool to its suite of products. With integration into its AssureTM product, the I-9 Verification service streamlines the mandatory I-9 workflow for employers and cuts down on the amount of paper used in the process.
Completion of the Employment Eligibility Verification forms (Form I-9) is required for all employees, including U.S. citizens. Employers must retain all I-9 records for three years after the date of hire or one year after the date of employment termination. Companies, that at one point might have retained thousands of physical documents on the contingency of a government inspection or other legal action, now have the ability to populate, electronically sign and save I-9 forms from their AssureTM dashboard.
"The Verified Person I-9 solution is another tool to help our customers perform screening in a more efficient, simple manner, said Jim Davis, Verified Person CEO. "This new product also affirms Verified Person's belief in promoting an HR process that benefits the environment.
