1. I-9 Designee Training
Hello and welcome to I-9 training! The Office of Human Resources is excited to partner with you in completing this important process for new employees at The Medical College of Wisconsin.

2. My name is Jody Gottsacker, I’m a Human Resources assistant
My name is Jody Gottsacker, I’m a Human Resources assistant. Craig Roeder is our Immigration Consultant. Together we hope to answer any questions you might have about this process. This training will consist of an informational overview and a step-by-step walk-through of the I9 system. Feel free to ask questions along the way; our goal is to help you feel prepared and comfortable in doing this.

3. Why do we complete the I-9?
The US Government requires every employer to complete an I-9 for every individual they hire in the United States.
The I-9 Form is used to verify identity and employment authorization.

4. Section 1- The New Employee’s Responsibility
New employee receives information for Section 1 of the I-9 in their offer .
Completing Section 1 is a “task” in their Onboarding Portal.
MCW’s Employer Code is: 13884

5. Section 1- The New Employee’s Responsibility

In section 1, the employee will be prompted to enter their personal information. If the employee is a foreign national who does not have a US Social Security Number yet, they can click on the drop-down menu and select “applied for”. Once they’ve received their Social Security number- usually between days- HR will update this in the I9 system.
The employee’s first day of work can be found in their offer letter. If the start dates changes, please contact Human Resources. We understand that these dates can change based on a number of factors: an employee coming from out of state, credentialing a provider, etc. It’s a simple process for us to change the start date in the system, so please just let us know as soon as possible.

6. Section 1- The New Employee’s Responsibility
In this next section, If the new employee is a US Citizen, they will select 1.
If the new employee is a foreign national, they will select 2, 3, or 4 in the “Citizen Attestation” section. The employee will know/ have this information. More information on foreign nationals will be provided in just a few minutes.

7. Section 1- The New Employee’s Responsibility
If you are completing Section One with the employee, as in- you are sitting with them to do this, where you are entering the information- it is legally required that you add yourself as a preparer of the document. You’re going to enter your first and last name, and then use MCW’s business address: 8701 W. Watertown Plank Rd, Milwaukee WI as the Address in this section. You’ll click “Add Preparer” and the page will refresh. At that point you can click “Continue” and complete Section One.

8. Section 2- The I9 Designee’s Responsibility
Complete Section 2 with the employee within their first three working days.
The employee must bring original documents to you.
Do NOT accept: expired documents, photocopied/faxed/scanned documents

This can be completed up to 180 days prior to the employee’s start. So if you are in a situation where the employee lives out of state, or you know that you as the designee will be out of the office on their first day- this can easily be done ahead of time! Other options when you are out of the office are- sending them to a nearby department’s designee (a full list is on Infoscope) or send them over to HR.
