In anticipation of the sale closing on Monday, February 2, 2015 for most schools, ECMC/Zenith Education Group plans to send individual offer letters to prospective Zenith/ECMC employees during the week of January 26. Upon accepting the offer letter, all of us will need a new Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification Form) completed in conjunction with federal law. While the Form I-9 (“I-9”) may not be completed until offers have been extended and accepted, in anticipation of the need for thousands of new I-9s to be completed within a narrow time frame, we ask that you take steps now to prepare and locate the necessary required government documents to ensure timely completion of the I-9. If you are a remote/work-at-home employee, we are also asking that you to begin now to source a local Notary Public who is willing to complete the Form I-9 and act as Zenith’s representative to examine your identity and employment authorization document(s). Further instructions for completion will be forthcoming.
Some documents show both identity and employment authorization (List A). Other documents show identity only (List B) or employ¬ment authorization only (List C). You are allowed to choose which document(s) you want to present from the Lists of Acceptable Documents, contained below, provided they are original (no copies, except certified birth records). If you choose to use identification from List B and C, the name on both documents must match.
We appreciate your patience as we move closer to finalizing the transaction and new employment with Zenith. Thanks. –Mitch Gerken, DAVP Human Resources
