These definitions apply to Form I-9 procedures and instructions. They do not apply more broadly to other HR processes.
Form I-9 Original -- The Form I-9 that is completed by the employee either on paper or via DocuSign is the original I-9 Form and cannot be changed by UNL's HR professional. However, when it is necessary for the HR professional to review the "original I-9" for any purpose (for example, to copy the employee's name from the original Form I-9 onto a Supplement B Reverification), the HR professional may be reviewing an original paper I-9 form or an digitally stored version of the original I-9 form -- both are considered valid original documents. Additionally, through the course of their employment at the University of Nebraska, an employee may be required to complete more than one Form I-9. In those circumstances, the "original I-9" refers to the most recently completed I-9 that is retained by the University.
