My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Wisconsin
We collect I9 documents and keep a copy on file for the required 3 years. My question though is surrounding the 72 hour verification requirement because our staff are hourly staff in remote locations. When they clear our headquarters onboarding paperwork and background check they are cleared to work. However, for us that means that we put them in the scheduling pool. They may start actual paid work that day or they may start a week later. Headquarters is stating that if they start a week later we are out of compliance with 72 hour I9 verification but this makes no sense to me because we have the copy of the documents. We don't use E-Verify or any system like that so it is a matter of us having the docs.
Are we out of compliance or is having a copy of I9 documentation and having them put in the scheduling pool sufficient?
