Administrative I-9 audits are ICE's main tool for enforcing immigration law at work, and many employers assume their records are fine when they are full of mistakes. This 60-minute webinar explains how to run an internal I-9 audit so an ICE inspection is as painless as possible.
A self-audit helps you find and fix mistakes and omissions, remove records you no longer need to keep, and make sure you aren't unknowingly employing an unauthorized worker.
You'll learn how often to audit and who should do it, how to correct errors, what to do when an I-9 is missing or an employee isn't authorized, how to avoid discrimination claims, recent OCAHO penalties, E-Verify and how to respond to an ICE inspection.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Immigration enforcement is rising, laws keep changing and fines for violations are costly. Most problems come from innocent mistakes that a periodic, good-faith self-audit can catch.
This session suits HR managers, small business owners, office managers, CFOs and COOs, payroll and accounting managers, in-house counsel, compliance officers and E-Verify users.
