Employment Eligibility

Employees must be eligible to work in the United States and at Nevada State College prior to the start of employment.  Nevada State College does not sponsor nor coordinate work visas for employees.

Nevada State College verifies each employee’s identity and eligibility to work in the United States in accordance with the immigration laws.

The College will verify such eligibility by having each employee complete an I-9 Form. The I-9 Form must be completed no later than the third business day after the employee's start date (including the employee’s first day of work). If the length of the appointment is 3 days or less then the I-9 Form must be completed prior to any work commencing.

Supervisors cannot permit any employee who has not completed an I-9 Form in the required timeframe to continue to perform any work for the College.

Requirements for Completion of the I-9 Form

• In accordance with federal law, all employees are required to properly complete an I-9 Form and to submit appropriate documentation to verify their identity and eligibility to work in the United States. A list of acceptable documents for verifying identity and eligibility to work in the United States is included on the I-9 Form. Photocopies provided by the employee will not be accepted unless specifically authorized on the back of the I-9 Form. 
• New employees should be advised of the need to complete an I-9 prior to their start date. The Office of Human Resources recommends that new employees complete an I-9 after acceptance of the offer and prior to first day of work. 
• An employee who does not complete the I-9 Form within the required time frame and does not provide required documentation will be terminated from employment or placed on unpaid temporary leave for a reasonable period of time in consultation with the Office of Human Resources. 
• A new I-9 Form, or an updated I-9 Form, must be completed each time an employee returns to NSC employment after terminating employment with the College or at the time his/her temporary authorization expires, if applicable. The Office of Human Resources will monitor the eligibility status and shall require verification of continued eligibility for any employee who is working under a temporary authorization. 
• Volunteers are not employees and are not required to complete I-9 Forms.
