Immigration Alert Prepare for I-9 Audits by Using a New I-9 Correction and Storage Process That is accepted by Department of Homeland Security (DHS)!

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

ICE has signaled that it wants employers to expect an I-9 audit, and it has sharply increased audit numbers and collected large fines and forfeitures, including a $95 million payment by a single employer. Every employer should be prepared.

This 90-minute webinar walks step by step through the guidelines for completing Form I-9 and the accepted methods for correcting it without triggering fines.

You'll learn why storing I-9s in personnel files can lead to discrimination claims, how to set up a correction and storage process with minimal risk, whether outsourcing your internal audit helps, how long to keep forms, how to handle remote employees, and which document request mistakes HR teams still make.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Anyone can file a complaint, true or not, and agencies such as the DOL, IRS and DHS share information more than before. Most complaints come from disgruntled employees or audits of targeted industries.

This session suits business owners and executives, federal contractors, HR, compliance and payroll professionals, managers and anyone who reviews I-9s or handles onboarding.
