Question
On the New Hire Dashboard, what does I-9 past due mean?
Answer
In Toast Payroll, on the New Hire Dashboard via Team > Onboarding, you may see a notice under an employee's name that says I-9 past due. This means that more than three days have passed and the Form I-9 should be addressed immediately. (When you select Team in Toast Payroll, you should see a URL that begins with payroll.toasttab.com. Visit Navigate Toast Payroll Within Toast Web to learn how the new Toast Payroll navigation works.)
If you'd like to disable this notification, you can choose not to require Form I-9s upon new hire onboarding. In Toast Payroll, navigate to Settings > New Hire > Settings and toggle the I-9 option to No. If you do not see Settings on the left side of the screen, select Payroll from the Toast Web navigation rail on the left to make the Toast Payroll navigation rail appear.
Generally, employers must complete section 2 of the Form I-9 within 3 days of the date of hire. More information about timelines to complete the form can be found in the instructions or on the USCIS website.
