Run I-9 and E-Verify in Workable

Verify employee work eligibility in a compliant, simple way. No more downloading PDFs, duplicate data entry, and jumping between multiple tools. With our new I-9 and E-Verify workflow, employees can complete Section 1 of the I-9 form digitally, while HR teams review their documents, and complete Section 2, all from Workable. If they have opted to use e-verification, it will be submitted automatically during the process. Meet federal requirements with ease.  

What’s changing

Workable customers in the U.S. teams no longer have to rely on manual workarounds or external systems to stay compliant. 

With this release, you can now:

• Complete I-9s digitally as part of onboarding
  
  • Employees fill out Section 1 of the I-9 form in a guided, mobile-friendly workflow (with prefilled info where available)
    
  • HR teams review documents and complete Section 2 within the required timeframe

• Submit to E-Verify without leaving Workable
  
  • Teams have the option to create and submit an E-Verify case from the same onboarding workflow

• Reduce risk and admin work
  
  • Fewer manual steps, fewer “download/upload” loops, and less duplicate data entry

• Deliver a smoother remote onboarding experience
  
  • Easier document uploads and completion for remote and mobile-first hires

How it works

We’ve designed the I-9 + E-Verify experience to be seamless and structured — embedded into your existing onboarding setup.

Here’s how it works:

• Contact our team to enable the relevant integration in Workable
  
• Add an I-9 task to your onboarding workflow (with the option to include E-Verify)
  
• Enable employees to complete Section 1 digitally
• They get guided steps, prefilled details, and simple document uploads
  
• HR admins review documents and complete Section 2
• Track status and store documentation in Workable
• Keep onboarding moving with clear task progress and completed records

Why this matters for U.S. organizations

• Meet federal timelines with no stress
  
  • Employers must complete and sign Section 2 within 3 business days of the employee’s first day of work. Workable makes it easy.
    
• Support E-Verify where required (and where teams prefer it)
  
  • E-Verify compares I-9 information against DHS/SSA records and is required for some employers (including many federal contractors), while others participate voluntarily or due to local/state requirements.
    
• Build i-9 verification into the onboarding workflows you already use 
  • Add I-9 tasks (with or without using E-Verify) in your onboarding workflows, track progress, and store completed forms right there in the employee profile.
