This webinar will explain requirements for filling the I-9 form, including the re-verification requirements for non-U.S. citizens and non-permanent residents. It will provide strategies for ensuring your organization is prepared for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) audit.

Why Should You Attend:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) is storming the I-9 audit trail and is raid-ready, levying big fines for employers not in compliance with the immigration laws. In fiscal year 2013, ICE inspected the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Forms of 3,127 employers and issued 637 final orders for more than $15 million in fines. 2014 is going to be another record-breaking year for immigration enforcement.

This webinar will explain how to get your I-9 records and practices up-to-date, so you can stay in compliance and stay out of the path of the ICE storm.
