This option allows users to navigate to the I-9 Life cycle to get the detailed I-9 view of a New Hire's process across different business processes. If multiple transactions are performed on I-9 such as receipt updated, I-9 reverified, name corrected, or corrections, these details are clearly shown on this page in a timely manner.

Some important points that you need to remember when using I-9 Life Cycle in Elasticsearch:

• Available to transactions only when the primary onboarding process is completed
• Results do not show when you search on Invitation ID.
• Search on Last Name, DOB, Last 4 of SSN, Employee Status, Eligibility Type, I-9 Attributes, Start Date, Reverification Status, Purge Eligibility, Start Date, Termination Date, Company or, Business Unit. Use Elastic Search help in case you need more options.
• In case of Rehires, you will see an additional I-9 Life cycle resultant row in search results for a completed Rehire process.

Who can access Employee I-9 Life Cycle in Elasticsearch?

The users with I-9 Specialist roletype can access Employee I-9 Life Cycle in Elasticsearch.

When do you see I-9 Life Cycle for a transaction?

The I-9 Life Cycle is available only if the primary onboarding process is completed for the transactions.

As an example, let us consider an invitation that is in progress. Select "All" in the category and search using candidate's Last Name in the Keyword field. Sometimes, there could be more than one candidate with the same name. In that case, search using the Date of Birth or SSN.

The result shows all the categories available for that invitation in the left side of the search results page under "Category". Since the invitation is still in progress, the I-9 Life Cycle doesn't appear under categories.

Now, let's take an example of an invitation with process completed status. The I-9 Life Cycle shows under the "Category" facet when searched for all categories with candidate's Last Name as keyword.

The life cycle in search results shows with the Candidate's Last Name and Date of Birth as a hyperlink. Clicking on this hyperlink will navigate to the Employee I-9 Life Cycle page.
