Overview of the webinar

Completing a USCIS Form I-9 in a compliant manner involves navigating through numerous gray areas of the law and interpreting some often-conflicting and confusing instructions.  What appears to be a simple form carries the potential for six-figure liability if completed incorrectly.

As USCIS and USDOL inspections of Forms I-9 have become more frequent, fines have become more prevalent and costly.  It’s imperative that employers focus on compliance with Form I-9 regulations to avoid costly fines and penalties. 

The I-9 and E-Verify processes changed dramatically in the past few months … "virtual verification" is now allowed … the list of acceptable I-9 documents changed … you have new flexibility in who can serve as an "authorized representative" … you must be using a brand-new I-9 form … and you need to know what common errors are out there, so you don’t make the same mistakes.

This webinar will guide you through the I-9 internal audit process, and what you need to know to stay in I-9 compliance: changes to the form … storage rules … over- (and under-) documentation … reverification … document retention … remote verification … expired documents … timing … "no-match" letters … and more!
