Many employers underestimate Form I-9 penalties and assume violations are low risk because no one will report them. In fact, anyone can file a complaint, true or not, and most complaints come from disgruntled employees. Others arise from audits of targeted industries.
Government agencies also share information more than ever: the DOL talks with the IRS, and DHS with child support services, among others. This 90-minute Form I-9 penalties webinar explains how that exposure adds up and what to do about it.
You'll learn which errors carry the highest fines, how to correct I-9 documents properly, how to set up a correction and storage process, how long to keep records for active and terminated employees, and what to do for remote employees.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
ICE has stepped up I-9 audits, focusing on industries that have historically hired undocumented workers, such as agriculture, retail, landscaping and construction. An I-9 audit also lets ICE check whether unauthorized workers are on site, and it counts on finding employer errors.
This session suits employers in agriculture, landscaping, horticulture, construction and retail, though any company can be targeted.
