I-9 Compliance Workshop: The New Rules & Best Practices of Employee Verification
ALERT: Your organization's odds of being targeted for an audit of your I-9 forms have skyrocketed!
The Trump administration is following through on its promise of a FIVEFOLD INCREASE in the number of I-9 audits and worksite inspections in 2018.
Plus, the feds have recently introduced a brand-new version of the I-9 form that you MUST be using.
And the fines for I-9 paperwork violations have nearly doubled.
Are you next in line for an audit? What's new on the I-9 form? And what big workplace immigration changes are coming? You MUST know the answers to these questions ... or risk huge penalties. Total fines handed out by ICE are now 13 times higher than in 2009.
Strict compliance with the often-confusing I-9 rules is your only defense against serious monetary penalties and criminal arrests. I-9 Compliance: The New Rules & Best Practices of Employee Verification will guide you through the compliance process with advice from a true insider – a former ICE assistant chief counsel.
Speaker Kevin Lashus, a former assistant chief counsel at the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, covers:
- I-9 101. Discover 10 essential steps to correctly fill out the revised version of the I-9
- Documents. Which documents you can review for Lists A, B and C – and what has changed
- Copying. Whether you should make copies of driver's licenses and other supporting documents
- Review. How far you are required to go to determine if a document is “genuine”
- Retention. Where you must store I-9s and how long you must retain them
- Disposal. The proper way to discard I-9s
- Reverification. How to handle reverification in the most legally safe and efficient way possible
- Internal audits. What can be corrected and who should be auditing
- Best practices. What else you should be doing
- Electronic I-9 systems. What to consider when going paperless
The penalties are severe for I-9 violations, and the government is no longer negotiating fines of pennies on the dollar. I-9 fine levels were raised by 96% last year. And fines for “substantive” violations can reach $16,000 for each occurrence.
ICE is also focused on building criminal cases out of I-9 audits. Don't run the risk of your boss (or you!) being led off in handcuffs. Develop solid, audit-proof I-9 practices with I-9 Compliance!
Your satisfaction is unconditionally guaranteed. If I-9 Compliance fails to meet your needs, we will refund every penny you paid – no hassles, no questions asked.
