Background Checks Systems recently launched a direct integration with the Department of Homeland Security to immediately verify the employment eligibility of an applicant. This integration has been audited and certified by a third party company, CSC, to comply with the DHS specifications. This I-9 service works seamlessly inside our system making training, ordering and billing a breeze.

See a sample of the I-9 process.

On top of the integration and electronic management process for any non-confirmations, our system offers the additional value of generating electronic I-9s and storing the originals with responses for audits as needed. Our streamlined process will make it easy and quick for an employer to fill out the forms correctly, consistently, and in compliance.



The Bush administration has announced higher monetary penalties against businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants, the first increase in such fines in nearly a decade.

With no immigration legislation on the horizon, Fridays decision is the administrations latest attempt to clamp down on the flow of unauthorized workers into jobs.

"This is a way to keep that pressure up, to make sure people are complying with the law," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said.

Under the plan, which becomes effective March 27, the minimum penalty for willingly hiring an unauthorized worker would go from $275 to $375. The maximum penalty will jump from $2,200 to $3,200, and the maximum for multiple violations will increase from $11,000 to $16,000.
