James King Quoted in SHRM Online
"Expired Documents No Longer Valid Under New Form I-9"

James King was quoted April 2, 2009 in the article, "Expired Documents No Longer Valid Under New Form I-9," published on SHRM Online. The article reported on the American Staffing Association’s Staffing Law Conference held in Washington, D.C. on March 31, 2009. Jim, a presenter at the conference, noted that the main change to the new Form I-9 is that employers can no longer accept expired documents. According to Jim, employers should have taken advantage of the training that was provided earlier this year in order to make sure they are in compliance with the new Form I-9, which went into effect April 3, 2009. The article noted that some employees are confused by the fact that Canadian new hires may present their driver's licenses to establish their identities, while new hires from other neighboring countries, such as Mexico, may not. Jim reminded the conference attendees that as of April 3, expired driver’s licenses and other expired documents can no longer be accepted to document employment eligibility and/or identity.
