Yes! WorkBright's member services team will be able to help you set up auto purge for your outdated or no longer in use Form I-9s.
Why would you use auto purge?
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires employers to keep Form I-9 records only for a set period of time. Once those requirements are met, employers are expected to remove outdated records securely.
WorkBright’s Purge Service helps your organization stay compliant and reduce risk by automatically deleting I-9s that are no longer legally required to be kept.
How it works.
Monthly Review
Each month, WorkBright will review the employee records marked as terminated. These employee records will be checked against USCIS retention rules.
Retention Criteria
An I-9 and its associated documents will be permanently deleted when:
The employee is flagged as terminated, and
3 years after the employee’s start date, or
1 year after the employee’s end date, logged in to WorkBright.
Secure Deletion
Deletions occur daily at 8 PM MT.
Note: Once removed, records cannot be recovered.
What you need to do.
Confirm Employment Status
Before each purge, update employee records to ensure end dates are accurate and termination status is applied correctly.
Acknowledge Deletion
By using this service, you acknowledge that once purged, records are permanently deleted and cannot be restored.
