Comment by M. Gale Snelling-Belton on December 30, 2008 at 7:55pm: Get Ready for Changes in I-9's!!

SHRM Article:
Starting Feb. 2, 2009, expired credentials will no longer be acceptable to establish the identity or work eligibility of new hires, the U.S. government says. On Dec. 17, 2008, DHS’ United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) posted an “interim final rule” in the Federal Register making changes to Form I-9, and reducing the documents employers can accept to satisfy the form’s requirements. Employers can continue to use the current version of Form I-9, dated June 5, 2007, until the new Form I-9 and its requirements become effective Feb. 2, 2009, according to the USCIS. The Handbook for Employers, Instructions for Completing the Form I-9 (M-274) will be updated to reflect these changes and will be available on the USCIS website in the near future.

The revised Form I-9 will be made available in English and Spanish and posted on the USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov) at a later date.

This report sets out to provide HR professionals and those contemplating a career in human resources with research data on HR careers. More specifically, the report looks at HR professionals’ background and professional experiences, methods used to acquire jobs in HR, influential sources of HR career advice and obstacles experienced in advancing their HR careers. Participants were also asked to indicate the extent to which a variety of factors were important in attaining their current HR job and to predict the most important factors for their next HR job. In addition, the report contains in-depth interviews with senior HR executives about career advancement within the HR profession.

Just wanted to connect with the HR professionals in Albany. Even though I currently reside in Syracuse, it's nice to have this tool to be able to network and share ideas with other HR colleagues.
