I-9 Audits: Strengthening Your Immigration Compliance Strategies in 2023

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND:

The process of completing, storing, and properly disposing of I-9s can be daunting. The current Administration is strongly focused on immigration enforcement, and the chances of your organization being audited are higher than ever. Due to this increased focus, more employers are conducting proactive self-audits of their I-9s and supporting documentation. Additionally, more employers are participating in the Federal E-Verify program, a web-based system that allows businesses to electronically confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.

In this informative 90-minute program, you’ll be provided with the information you need to ensure your organization is Form I-9 compliant, understand what constitutes proper documentation, recordkeeping best practices, and methods for conducting self-audits. We will discuss the changes to Form I-9 that became effective on May 1, 2020. We will also discuss proposed changes to Form I9 scheduled to take place in early 2023. You will also learn about the E-Verify process which can assist employers with good-faith immigration compliance. Additionally, participation in this webinar will provide you with insight into surviving an external audit best practices to avoid hefty fines and enforcement actions from ICE.
