After a candidate accepts a position there are a few steps that must be completed before they can be legally hired:

Employment Eligibility Verification (USCIS Form I-9) – The employer should provide Form I-9 to employees to verify that they’re eligible to work in the U.S.
Background Check – The employer should perform a background check to properly vet new employees.
Employment Contract – The employer will want to draft and sign an employment contract to bind the employee to a working relationship.
IRS W-4 Form – The employee must complete this form so that the employer can withhold the proper amount for taxes from the employee’s pay.
Onboarding Checklist – An onboarding checklist can be provided to employees to acquaint them with the new position.
Employee Handbook – A handbook that includes the policies regarding time off, “at-will” employment, overtime pay, and benefits should be provided.
Withholding Taxes – Employers may sign up employees to a payroll service for withholding income taxes.
