Understanding How Symmetry I-9 Works
Symmetry is revolutionizing remote Form I-9 completion for providers, enabling secure Section 2 authorization with absolutely zero direct employer involvement:
- Register: Enroll your new employee quickly via our intuitive API and generate a unique, employee-specific I-9 session seamlessly through the API.
- Embed: Effortlessly integrate the employee’s session into your existing platform, guiding them to begin the Form I-9 process.
- Prompt: Upon completion of Section 1, the employee securely designates an Authorized Representative who is over 18 and provides their mobile phone number.
- Send: An immediate SMS message containing clear instructions, including a legally binding perjury statement, is sent to the designated Authorized Representative. The Authorized Representative then conducts a secure, in-person review of the employee's required I-9 documents.
- Complete: The Form I-9 is finalized once the Authorized Representative electronically signs the document.
- Resolve: A case is automatically and seamlessly created upon Form I-9 completion. 95% of cases close instantly without the need for admin assistance.
A New Standard: Mobile-first Onboarding Compliance
Patented Geofencing Technology: Our groundbreaking geofencing technology ensures unwavering compliance with all in-person validation requirements for remote I-9. By establishing a secure geographic boundary and capturing relevant metadata, we create a comprehensive and auditable record that confirms the physical co-presence of the employee and their authorized representative during the critical Section 2 signing process. This innovative feature provides unparalleled assurance for remote I-9 verification.
