Preparing for an I-9 audit starts with clean records. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforces employers' duty to verify and reverify work authorization, through random I-9 audits or investigations triggered by a lead such as an anonymous tip or facts suggesting non-compliance. Its investigations have focused on industries seen as employing many unauthorized workers, such as construction, landscaping, manufacturing and agriculture.
This 90-minute webinar takes you step by step through completing Form I-9, correcting errors the right way without incurring fines, and setting up a correction and storage process that meets DHS requirements. You'll also cover remote employee verification and the reverification it requires, how long to keep I-9s, and whether outsourcing your internal audit makes sense.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Anyone can file a complaint, true or not, and most come from disgruntled employees, while others stem from audits of targeted industries. Agencies are also sharing information more than before.
