Correct
Answer: C.
Section 1 of the form I-9 must be completed and signed by
the employee on or before the first day of work for pay,
but never before a job has been offered to and accepted
by the employee.
Section 2 of the form can be completed any time after Section
1 is completed, but must be done on or before the third
business day after the first day of work for pay. This is
often called the “Thursday rule,” as someone
who starts work on a Monday generally has to bring her documents
for completion of Section 2 by the end of the day on Thursday.
Remember that if you will hire someone for fewer than three
days, you must have the entire form (Sections 1 and 2) completed
on or before the first day of work, and you cannot accept
a receipt for a lost, stolen, or damaged document.
