The guidance states that once normal operations resume, the employee must report to the employer for in-person verification of identity and employment eligibility documentation. The employer should physically examine the employee’s original identity and work authorization documentation in the presence of the employee. After document review, enter in the Additional Information field “COVID 19” as the reason for the physical inspection delay, “documents physically examined” and the date of physical inspection and who conducted it.
Please see our Form I-9 mockups for visual examples of how remote and physical inspection should be notated.
