IRVING, TX, November 27, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- GroupOne Services, Inc., a provider of healthcare employee background screening, has entered into a partnership with Tracker Corp to offer Tracker I-9 software to its 600 hospital clients for Form I-9 processing and E-Verify compliance.
Tracker I-9 software will enable healthcare Human Resources professionals to easily process employees' I-9 forms for employment eligibility verification. Tracker I-9 features include detection of data entry errors or incomplete forms, one-click E-Verify submission, monitoring of E-Verify system for responses to pending cases, automatic email notification and customized reporting and auditing tools. Tracker I-9 even includes a flexible application programming interface (API) that enables the software to synchronize with the hospitals' existing payroll or HR applications, allowing relevant information to be securely transferred directly into electronic forms.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to increase enforcement of Form I-9 compliance. On Nov. 19, 2009, Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the issuance of Notices of Inspection (NOIs) to 1,000 employers across the country, alerting business owners that ICE will audit their hiring records to determine compliance with employment eligibility verification laws.
"GroupOne's partnership with Tracker Corp will provide our member hospitals with access to an easy, reliable way to enforce Form I-9 compliance throughout the institutions," said Eric Scott, vice president of GroupOne. "In this era of heightened national attention on verifying employees' legal right to work, our relationship with Tracker I-9 could not have come at a better time."
"Tracker Corp is pleased to join forces with GroupOne, who have taken the lead in bringing peace of mind to their patients and staff by confirming the backgrounds and legal status of all its employees," said Fred Colman, president and co-founder of Tracker Corp. "We look forward to helping healthcare HR professionals save time and money managing their compliance."
