Written by Martin Palacios | Jun 27, 2024 3:28:00 PM

The rise of deskless workers — those who are not anchored to a traditional office space — is reshaping the landscape of employment and operational logistics. These workers, who form a significant portion of the workforce in industries like retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics, face unique challenges, particularly when it comes to essential HR processes like I-9 verification. ServiceNow Document Intelligence emerges as a game-changing solution, offering a pathway to streamline these processes and support the unique needs of deskless workers.

 

The Challenge of I-9 Verification for Deskless Workers

The Form I-9 is a critical document used in the United States to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment. For deskless workers, completing this form can be a logistical challenge. Traditional I-9 verification processes are often paper-based and require in-person verification, which can be cumbersome for workers who are on the move or located far from company offices. This not only slows down the onboarding process but also increases the risk of errors and non-compliance with employment laws.
