Boosting Your I-9 IQ: Improving Employer Compliance
Although employers have long been required to check the employment eligibility of all new employees, only recently has the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) begun vigorously enforcing this obligation and imposing substantial penalties for noncompliance. In order to avoid the risk of DHS sanctions, employers must do more than accurately complete the I-9 Form to verify employment eligibility; they must also comply with numerous technical recordkeeping and documentation requirements. This course provides you with the legal understanding and technical skills needed to successfully comply with the full range of I-9 quirks and complexities. Because this course has been developed by our savvy and experienced immigration attorneys, it incorporates the most recent trends in DHS regulations, as well as the latest DHS “hot buttons.” This practice-based perspective means that your compliance team will benefit from the best and most current thinking about DHS enforcement.
