Form I-9 in 2022: E-Verification, ICE Audits and Self-Audits

Are you confident your organization is in full compliance with Federal immigration laws, or are you at risk for being assessed costly fines, or worse, for potential violations?
 

The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) was enacted to legalize approximately three million undocumented immigrants, while at the same time, attempted to deter future undocumented immigration. It is a violation of Federal immigration law for any employer to knowingly hire employees who are not authorized to work in the United States. The Federal Form I-9: Employment Eligibility Verification, is used by employers as a record of their basis for determining eligibility of an employee to work in the U.S.
 

The form is maintained by the employer and made available upon request for inspection by officials of the Department of Homeland Security, The Department of Labor, and the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices.
 

U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement has announced extension to certain I-9 compliance flexibilities. Join us on Clatid this September to learn what we know so far about the New Form I-9 and what you can do to stay compliant. Learn what changes the current I-9 form includes to avoid I-9 errors.
