2020 - Would your I-9 Forms Pass an ICE audit Employer Best Practices to Conduct Internal I-9 Audits

OVERVIEW
The U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) is going all-out in its "bold new audit initiative" to crack down on employers who violate immigration laws. Administrative I-9 audits are ICE's tool of choice. Too often, company execs and HR managers assume their I-9 compliance practices are in order when, in fact, their records and policies are littered with mistakes, leaving the business and individuals open to fines & lawsuits. Immigration compliance is important for employers as I-9 errors can be costly. In this webinar, Immigration Lawyer Bruce Buchanan will discuss how to conduct an internal I-9 audit, including how to correct errors on I-9 forms. He will also discuss what to expect and how to respond to an ICE audit. E-Verify are also becoming mandatory in many situations so it’s important to understand E-Verify as well.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Immigration enforcement is on the rise. With increased funding and driven by public outcry, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is on the audit trail, ready to levy big fines for employers not in compliance.
Ever changing immigration laws, cautious environment, ever vigilant officers, costly fines for potential violations - few of the issues faced by your organization. Most organizations are suffering from innocent mistakes made with regard to employment verification and other immigration laws. Form I-9 is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment. Join us as we explore a range of questions surrounding Form I9, with emphasis on changing federal immigration law, the issues faced by employer and the newer challenges associated with it.
A self-audit can go a long way toward minimizing fines and risks of liability for immigration law violations. The main objectives of an I-9 self-audit are to:
Identify and fix mistakes and omissions
Eliminate records you no longer are required to maintain and
Ensure you are not inadvertently employing an undocumented worker
You should be conducting periodic I-9 audits on your own and making a good-faith effort to correct mistakes. This webinar will help make an ICE inspection as painless as possible.
