Employees working outside of the US
If an employee is working outside of the US, do I need to complete a Form I-9?
A: You do not need to complete a Form I-9 for employees who are living and working remotely outside of the United States. However, if the employee relocates to the United States, you will need to complete a Form I-9 upon their arrival. When completing their I-9, you will use their original start date and make a note in the Additional Information box that the employee was working abroad and relocated to the US.
Please ensure you have appropriate remote work authorization from Academic Personnel, Human Resources (Employee Relations) and Export Control for employees working internationally.
