Spectrum on Top of Latest I-9 Release

<strong>Denver &mdash; Nov. 16</strong><br />Less than a week after the federal government released a revised I-9 form, Spectrum Human Resource Systems Corporation has incorporated it into its iVantage software.<br /><br />The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requires all U.S. businesses to verify the employment eligibility of new hires using Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification). The form has become increasingly important as the government has sought to more strictly enforce compliance.<br /><br />For this latest version, the DHS removed five identification and eligibility items from the list of accepted documents because they lacked certain security features.<br /><br />&ldquo;It&rsquo;s very important to stay current with government releases so our clients can comply with regulations,&rdquo; said Spectrum president and CEO Sybll Romley. &ldquo;The I-9 form is particularly important because Homeland Security has really cracked down on compliance in the last couple of years. Our clients need it as fast as possible.&rdquo;<br /><br />The iVantage software includes the I-9 form as part of its reporting functions. To bring clients up to date, Spectrum released a hot fix that clients can download and integrate with their iVantage system.<br />
