Right to Work process in the United States (USA) with Zinc

At Zinc, we don't offer a encapsulated Right to Work process for the United States. Employers cannot legally **completely** outsource I-9 accountability. Even when employers use a third party provider (screening OR specialist I-9 service provider), the employer is still **legally** responsible for ensuring that all I-9 forms are completed correctly, and for being assured that the person (i.e. the provider) inspecting the documents on their behalf is properly authorised to do so. ## How to use Zinc with the US Right to Work process To use Zinc to conduct your right to work process in the US, you will need to set up a package with a **Right to Work check** and a **Self Certification check.** To find out more on creating a package, you can click [here](https://help.zincwork.com/hc/hm54ky7yrc/article/0576f8aa-how-to-create-a-new-check-package-in-zinc) for more information. For the Self Certification check, there's more information on this process [here](https://help.zincwork.com/hc/hm54ky7yrc/article/3393e704-what-is-a-self-certification-check-and-how-is-it-used). Once you've sent out a request using this package, you will need to wait for your candidate to complete these checks. The employee, by **their first day of work** , must fill out and sign section 1 of the I-9 Form, providing all necessary biographic and legal information on that form. The I-9 Form is provided under our Self-Certification check which candidates can complete on their side so make sure to send out the request with plenty of time for the candidate to complete. With the Right to Work check and Self Certification check, we offer these as documentation **collection** services but we don't validate these documents for you. The Zinc platform can be used to perform an ID document verification on a US Passport or a US Driver's License, but the employer remains responsible for I-9 document examination (whether a physical document check or a DHS-authorised alternative procedure). Once those checks are completed in the system, you can then begin your side of the process by following the steps [here](https://help.zincwork.com/hc/hm54ky7yrc/article/adf7b36d-form-i-9-and-e-verify-united-states-right-to-work-process-including-remote-document-review) for E-Verify or any alternative procedure outside of the Zinc platform. You will need to reverify employment authorisation for employees with expiring documents by the expiration date. Once completed, the Form I-9 must be retained and made available for inspection for three years from hire or one year from termination. If the alternative remote document review process was used, employers must retain the clear and legible copies submitted by employees. If employer keeps copies of the documents presented by employees, they must retain the copies with the relevant Form I-9. You can use the PDF download of the candidate's report to keep copies of the documents provided.
