I just started a new job and discovered that most of the I-9 forms do not have Section 2 completed by the employer.  Section 1 is completed by the employee, and there are copies of ID documents, but the employer section is not completed.  I'm not sure how to handle this, do I need to go back and look at everyone's documents again and complete Section 2 myself?

There is an "i-9 employer handbook" at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/m-274.pdf that does talk through some of the more common errors. So please do check there.

You might be able to use the copies of the ID's for those terminated (and I would note that on the prior form)  but I would ask any current employees to fill out a new form, provide new documents and sign it as current.  Do NOT back-date the old ones. Then I would write a brief explanation and staple all documents together.  Do NOT discard the old documents. Should you be audited you will want to be able to prove you corrected it as soon as you found it!
