Symmetry I-9 automates employment verification for onboarding and payroll providers. Employees can complete I-9 forms on mobile devices or other internet-connected devices, with Section 2 methods that include remote verification and E-Verify integration. Document scanning and smart autofill are designed to reduce manual entry. When an I-9 is completed, the system automatically generates an E-Verify case; Symmetry says 95% close without administrator help. For remote Section 2 signing, mobile geofencing records metadata showing that an employee and authorized representative were together. An API and embeddable employee and administrator experiences support integration into onboarding and payroll platforms. Administrators can track progress, review E-Verify cases, and see alerts for incomplete forms and expiring documents. Symmetry says personal information is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access limited to personnel who need it to provide the services. Pricing is available on request, and implementation and support are included in every plan.
