Finally! Here's the updated Form I-9

I received an email this morning from the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services with links to the updated Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification .  The new PDF version of the form and instructions on the USCIS website is 9 pages long and per the "Paperwork Reduction Act" is supposed to take about 35 minutes per response. Wow. 

 Employers should start using the new form immediately.  However, if employers need to update their employment processes, they may continue using old versions of the form until May 7, 2013.  After May 7, 2013, employers must utilize the updated form. 

So for seasonal employers who utilize Cool Works for your summer staff, get to know this form and have it in place when the bulk of your staff will arrive this spring.

Here's the link to the full form and instructions:

In addition, USCIS will be hosting a stakeholder teleconference on Monday, March 11, 2013, at 2 p.m. (Eastern) to discuss and answer questions about the form revisions.

APPL Conference - March 10-13, 2013

While it's on my mind, I wanted to get down in writing that I'll be attending the annual Association of Partners for Public Lands (APPL) conference in Portland, Oregon the second week of March. 

Bill and I attended last year in Las Vegas and were treated to much learning and appearances by Teddy Roosevelt, Elvis Presley, and a walking / talking granola bar.  It also included many mini-reunions for Bill with Parkie friends from over the years.

Like last year, I hope to meet many employers in the National Parks, State Parks, Wilderness Areas, etc., who may need our assistance in finding great employees who don't want to work in traditional offices, but rather get out of town and into the wilderness.

Find me, Q, or Kari, at booth 825 in the trade show held at the Oregon Convention Center on Tuesday, March 12th through Thursday, March 14th.

Check out the APPL conference website for more detailed information and schedules.
