What if an employee was hired before November 7, 1986, but has taken an approved leave of absence?
You do not need to complete an I-9 for that employee if the employee is continuing in his or her employment and has a reasonable expectation of employment at all times. However, if that employee has quit or been terminated, or is an alien who has been removed form the United States, you will need to complete an I-9 for that employee.
