Correct!

Correct Answer is ‘C’ No. The telephone number field on the Form I-9 is optional, and it is the employee who has the option. If an employee does not wish to provide her telephone number in this field, she should indicate “N/A” in the field. You must not require that she provide a phone number.

The Challenge Question:

Can I require that my employees provide telephone numbers in Section 1 of the Form I-9?

The new Form I-9 has telephone number field in Section 1, and I understand that it is "optional." Can I "opt" to require that my employees complete this field?

a. Yes. I-9 regulations state that all employers must require employees to complete this field.

b. Yes. The field is optional, but it is up to the employer to decide whether employees must provide a phone number.

c. No. It is an optional field, and it is up to the employee whether to provide a phone number.

d. No. Only E-Verify users may require phone numbers.
