Take the confusion out of the form. Compliance is actually pretty easy, but the I-9 form looks complicated, so we make it complicated.

The presenter has conducted hundreds of I-9 audits. The number of companies that were in compliance is a big fat ZERO.  

The first thing to know is the importance of understanding the regulations for completing and maintaining I-9 forms. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is the agency responsible for conducting I-9 audits, so it is also important to know the requirements for completing the form and the timeliness required for completion. Did you know that using 6/2/20 on an I-9 form is a violation and subject to a fine? What is the best way to keep the form? How do I follow up with temporary work authorizations?  Do I have to redo an I-9 after a driver's license expires? What is between E-Verify and I-9 recordkeeping requirements? What are the Fines and penalties for non-compliance? How do we conducting our own I-9 Audit and fix I-9 forms?

Background:-

Recently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a lot of flexibility regarding the use of identification documents during the Covid-19 crisis. E-Verify has allowed flexibility as well.  These are all good changes that allow you to hire people who may have expired identification documents while governmental departments such as the Social Security Offices, Drivers License Bureaus, and other agencies were closed. But what are the rights and responsibilities of organizations when these agencies re-open?

Why should you Attend? 

It’s complicated. This webinar will shed light on those rights, responsibilities, and new deadlines you have to meet. 

The I-9 Form is often described as the most complicated 2-page form ever created. What makes an I-9 inspection especially maddening is it does not matter if all your employees are authorized to work in the USA. What matters most to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is whether the I-9 form is filled out correctly with the right documents at the right time by the right people.

In addition to increasing the number of inspections, ICE has also increased the fines for incorrect I-9 forms. The fines can range from $224 to $2,236 for each incorrect I-9 form depending on the percentage that is incorrect, and the number of times ICE has audited your I-9 forms.  There can also be criminal charges filed against violators.
