RECORDED TRAINING COURSE
Research shows, however, that audits are often triggered by complaints, which, in turn, most often come from disgruntled employees. Others come from audits of targeted industries. Moreover, while the Dept of Homeland Security did, temporarily allow remote verification of employee eligibility for employers otherwise working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, the DHS has announced that the relaxation of the rules will end on July 31, 2023. Homeland Security, therefore, has another reason to be more vigilant.
The point is that you cannot assume that you are immune from an I-9 audit. This webinar will provide pointers to help you minimize your chances of triggering an audit.

Why You Should Attend:
Immigration laws and Form I-9 requirements have not been on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Correctly completing a Form I-9, that seemingly simple form involves sifting through gray areas and often conflicting instructions that can prove to be a trap for the unwary, and often most well-intentioned employers. Even seemingly minor “paperwork” violations can land employers in hot water for non-compliance.
Attending this webinar will help you understand how to correctly fill out the I-9, and if you have made any mistakes up until now, how to correct them. You will also learn of new developments and some best practices, which should save your company from steep penalties arising out of avoidable violations.
Who Should Attend:
- HR Directors
- HR Managers
- VPs of HR
- Chief HR Officers
- Office managers
- Senior Managers
- CEO’s
- Business Owners
