Adoption of Resolution Authorizing the Destruction of Duplicate Records in the Human Resources Department

End

 

Recommended Action/Motion:

recommendation

Adopt Resolution authorizing the Human Resources Department to securely destroy physical records related to employment authorization that have been accurately digitized and preserved in accordance with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) 8 CFR Section 274 a.2 (2) applicable federal regulations, and the County’s records retention policies.

End

 

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

None.                     

 

Summary of Request

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires retention of form I-9 for a period of three (3) years after the date of hire or one (1) year after the date of termination, whichever is later.  USCIS authorizes electronic storage of form I-9 and allows the destruction of the original paper form after it has been securely stored in electronic format.

 

Human Resources has digitized all current employee I-9 forms into the MUNIS System.

 

This resolution authorizes the secure destruction of physical records that have been digitized, including future files of all new hires, or amended I-9 forms as of the date of the corresponding resolution, reducing storage needs, improving efficiency, and ensuring compliance with USCIS and related regulations.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Do not adopt recommendation and direct staff.
