Remote Hire Reverification

Tracker does not natively support the remote completion of Section 3. Because there is still an obligation to complete Section 3 for reverification, please follow the steps below to complete a reverification for an employee working remotely. Contact your central Human Resources office with any questions.

  1. Send a paper copy of the I-9 to the employee using a secure method, such as U.S. mail, fax, or PEAR. Standard University email is not secure. The I-9 can be a completed printout or blank, as long as Section 3 is able to be completed.
  2. Work with the employee to find a Designated Agent Representative. If you are having trouble finding a representative, check the CUPA-HR I-9 Reciprocal Processing Consortium.
  3. The Designated Agent Representative will complete Section 3 with the employee.
  4. The employee should send the completed Section 3 back to you using a secure method, such as U.S. mail, fax, or PEAR. Standard University email is not secure.
  5. In Tracker, create a new Section 3 on the Form I-9. Transcribe the data from the paper form directly into the matching fields. If the paper form has an error, the error must be copied into Tracker.
  6. Select the Paper Signature option at the end of Section 3 in Tracker. Complete the signature.
  7. Scan and upload the paper copy.
