We are auditing I-9s and found we are missing I-9 forms for some of our employees. What should we do?

If you discover that a Form I-9 is not on file for a current employee, you and the employee must work together to complete a new Form I-9 immediately. If the employee cannot produce acceptable documentation as required in Section 2 of the form, or refuses to complete Section 1, that employee cannot work for pay. A new Form I-9 must not be back-dated.
