Every U.S. employer must complete a Form I-9 for each employee hired after November 6, 1986, under the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). This 90-minute Form I-9 audit training explains how to stay compliant and avoid costly fines.
The form records how you confirmed an employee's eligibility to work in the U.S., and you must produce it if the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Labor or the Office of Special Counsel asks. You'll learn who must comply, the exceptions, employer and employee duties, common errors and how to correct them, and retention rules.
The session also covers the 2023 form revision, the end of COVID-era virtual document review on July 31, 2023, and options for remote workers and E-Verify users.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Completing, storing and disposing of I-9s correctly can be daunting, and immigration enforcement makes audits a real risk. More employers now run proactive self-audits and use E-Verify, the web-based system for confirming work eligibility.
You'll learn what proper documentation looks like, recordkeeping best practices, self-audit methods and how to get through an external ICE audit. It suits senior leaders, HR, operations, compliance and recruiting professionals, managers and supervisors.
