I launched my small hotel chain, in towns across the Midwest in the year 1992. Since then I have had a pretty diverse influx of employees, ranging from all ages and ethnic backgrounds. It was never really important to me to comply with the government regulations regarding immigration and SSA documentation. But once I learned a business owner would be held responsible for unauthorized workers, I made every attempt to follow the guidelines outlined. Luckily I came across I-9 Direct, which had the paperless forms to verify employees. The electronic storage allowed the documents to be easily retrievable; I could promptly print out lists when I wanted. With the help of the customer service representatives, I was able to comply at an affordable rate, which was also a very easy system to work with.

With over 500 employees under my direction, I thought verifying each person in my construction company was going to be a very meticulous and daunting task. I knew that my human resources department was going to have a lot of work in front of them. Yet, we managed to verify eligibility for everyone in the company using the I-9 Direct service, which was electronic, fast and had affordable rates. I was unaware that the process could be done in a paperless method, it definitely cut down on time and it made me more efficient. I am very thankful for the service and the products they provide because it helped my company avoid government audits and penalties which could have otherwise brought my company to its demise. Now I am happy to say that I am in compliance with the Immigration Reform Control Act!

As a small business owner it was imperative that I stay up to date with the current immigration laws that impact my worksite. My maintenance company was established in 1999, in Atlanta, GA where immigration was on the rise and government audits were popping up. I was adamant about not incurring financial penalties or unpleasant publicity about my company. The current verification process was not efficient for my 150 employees, and the three cities where my company is located. But the 1-9 Direct service provided fast results and an easy to use electronic system, and now I can sleep easily at night knowing that I am in compliance and that my workers are authorized in the United States. The process was easy, especially with the help of such a great customer service team.
