EAD lost in mail, what to do?

[EadLost]

Hello Gurus,

My EAD and approval notice was lost in mail, although my mailing address is correct. Now I am wondering how I can stay in payroll. This is my first EAD, and I have an IEAD, which expires at the end of January. As I understand, if I apply for the duplicate, it will take several months to get it. Does any one know if there is a better way to deal with this situation? Your suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Do not worry, be happy. You need only recept of replacement of lost EAD. Apply for replacement EAD as soon as possible.

Can I fire an employee who fails to produce the required document(s) within three (3) business days?

Yes. You can terminate an employee who fails to produce the required document(s), or a receipt for a replacement document(s) (in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed documents), within three (3) business days of the date employment begins. However, you must apply these practices uniformly to all employees. If an employee has presented a receipt for a replacement document(s), he or she must produce the actual document(s) within 90 days of the date employment begins.
