Question:  

We are starting to gear up for seasonal hiring for the summer.  If I rehire seasonal workers from last year, do I need to have them complete a new I9 form?

Answer:  

According to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, if an employee is rehired within three (3) years of the date that a previous Form I-9 was completed there are two options:  

  1. The employer may complete a new Form I-9 for the worker.
  2. Complete Section 3 of the previously completed Form I-9.
