A new I-9 Form is available and must be in use by 1/22/2017. Over the years, we’ve seen several versions of the I-9 form. One of the constants has been the rule that you begin using a new I-9 form when it becomes available. However, you do not replace your employees’ older versions just because a new one has been issued.
• Which form — Use the current form available at the time of hire.
• When — You must receive the employee’s identification within the first 3 days of employment or they stop working until they provide the ID.
• Employee’s requirements — Section 1 and proper identification.
• What ID – Page 4 of the form shows what identification is allowed.
• Your requirements — You have 3 days from date of hire to complete your Section 2 of the form, which includes the certification just below the area you enter the employee’s ID.

The new Federal law requiring all salaried, exempt employees to be paid at least $47,476 on 12/1/2016 has been indefinitely postponed! There was a lot of opposition to this new minimum salary … enough to convince a judge to stop the law from going into effect. California’s minimum remains at $41,600 until our minimum wage increases.
