Patriot I-9 vs Symmetry I-9

Patriot I-9 provides employers with web-based electronic Form I-9 and E-Verify software. Its guided online process checks I-9 entries for errors, and users can submit an employee's E-Verify case from the electronic form. The service tracks expiring work authorization and other deadlines, sending alerts by email. Employers can search stored I-9s, print them as PDFs, and create reports by jobsite, department, and geographic location. Internet access allows records to be managed across company locations. A federal contractor service can submit existing I-9s to E-Verify for the customer and provide real-time reports across locations. Administrator permission levels control access, while an audit log tracks actions relating to an I-9. The company describes Patriot I-9 as an official DHS designated agent and says DHS quality-checks its online I-9 annually. Training, setup, and support are included. The cloud-based service requires no installation or downloads. Seat licenses and E-Verify have no charge; stored forms cost $1.25 per month, and each new I-9 created and confirmed as compliant costs $3.00 USD.

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.
