Are you responsible at your bank for HR compliance? Your first reaction may be no, but if there is a compliance violation, are you responsible to your management to be on top of it? Would you be held accountable for HR compliance? I recommend you clarify with your management that HR is or is not covered under regulatory compliance and your purview. The most frequent error relates to the I-9 and a couple tips can keep you in compliance on these. Thank you to Stephen Maule of McMahon Berger for these tips.
1-Never back date information on the I-9, just get a corrected one with the appropriate date.
2-Never get it signed until the individual has been hired, recommended to do on the 1st day at work.
3-Keep the I-9 separate from other HR files and not in the personnel file folder.
4-Make sure each you that you are using the most current, up to date form.
5-Keep copies of the forms you are provided for identification attached to the I-9.
