			<p align="left">
			<font size="1">This seminar allows participants to gain a better understanding on how to ensure that their workforce is legal. The discussion will cover issues on how to manage the I-9 process at the time of employee hiring; how to maintain I-9 files; and how to handle Social Security mismatch letters. It will also cover options for sponsoring foreign national employees for temporary work visas and green cards. A special emphasis will be placed on current enforcement trends, recent regulatory changes and proposed laws that will add burdens to employers (and employees) with respect to ensuring that their workforce is legal, and potentially allow for sponsorship under a proposed &ldquo;guest worker&rdquo; program. In addition, the seminar will explore the growing interest in numerous states that require (or are seeking to require) employers to &ldquo;verify&rdquo; their workforce to be eligible as contractor/subcontractor on all state projects.</font>
