IMPORTANT NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES
Completing an Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9 Form)
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) requires
all new and rehired employees to establish eligibility for
employment in the United States. Princeton University cannot
pay you or allow you to work until this verification process has been
completed. Please note that non-U.S. citizens must have employment
authorization covering their entire Princeton University appointment period
in order to be able to work and be paid for the full appointment.
You must fill out an Employment Eligibility Verification form (I-9 form) at the
time of hire--when you begin work. Citizens of the
United States should bring to the Office of Human Resources, 1 New South, the original documents which establish your identity and
authorization to work. Non-citizens of the United States must
bring these documents to the Payroll Office, 5 New South
Building.
