Validation Rule: Length Must be 9 Digits, and 9 Digits only, (it is a text field). AND the value should also be able to save (not fire error message) if there is no value in the field (NULL)

Validation Rule: Length Must be 9 Digits, and 9 Digits only, (it is a text field). AND the value should also be able to save (not fire error message) if there is no value in the field (NULL). I have tried several attempts, and while testing the validation rule, I have not been able to get the Null Value part to work. Validation error message is firing for 9 Digits only, and be restricted to 9 digits only, but not null... Any help would be awesome!

OR(
     NOT(
         ISNUMBER(
                  Employer_ID_No_EIN__c
                 )
        ),
    AND(
        NOT(
            ISBLANK(
                     Employer_ID_No_EIN__c
                   )
           ),   
       
        
        ISNUMBER(Employer_ID_No_EIN__c), 
        LEN(Employer_ID_No_EIN__c) <>9
          
       )
)

Try this 
IF ( 
	NOT(ISBLANK(Employer_ID_No_EIN__c)), OR(LEN(Employer_ID_No_EIN__c) <>9, NOT(
         ISNUMBER(Employer_ID_No_EIN__c))), false
)

Hey Steven, the above allows to save if there is no value in the field, but now the validation on making the field as a number only, and that it must be a length as 9 only doesn't work now.
