From I-9 to E-Verify: How to Master HR’s Newest Immigration Challenges

From I-9 to E-Verify Webinar Recording

Verifying employment eligibility is one of HR's most vital tasks. I-9s, those seemingly short and simple forms, can become huge liabilities if your organization improperly completes, files, or administers them. Think it can’t happen to you? That's what Abercrombie & Fitch thought -- before it was hit with a $1 million-plus fine for I-9 errors. And with a new I-9 form proposal on the table, it’s more important than ever for your recordkeeping procedures to be current and accurate.

E-Verify is designed to be easy and safe, but the smallest mistake can let unauthorized applicants gain employment -- or spark discrimination claims if an inaccuracy in your hiring procedure leads to you denying someone a job.

And then there's the SSA's recently reinstated no-match letters, documentation sent to employers notifying them that they have an employee whose name doesn’t match a valid Social Security number, which are proving to be another area of confusion for employers.

With the latest immigration crackdown under way, it's crucial for you to make your I-9 administration and E-verify processes run smoothly and in a legally safe way, and for you to understand every step of the no-match letter process from receipt to conclusion so you can stay in compliance.

Participate in this interactive webinar, and you’ll learn:

• How the new proposed I-9 form will impact your compliance practices and procedures
• Best practices for bulletproofing your I-9 procedures, from filling out, verifying, filing, and destroying the forms to auditing your I-9s and dealing with employees who refuse to submit them
• The latest updates on E-Verify, including tips for handling "tentative non-confirmations" properly and giving your employees notice that you're using the system
• How you should handle federal immigration records requests, audits, and on-site inspections
• The difference between a Warning Notice and a Notice of Intent to Fine and when you should use each one
• When an ICE Field Agent can issue fines
• Differences between technical and substantive I-9 violations and how each one can impact your organization
• How to address each of these deficiencies in your recordkeeping
• And much more

In just 90 minutes, you'll have all of your I-9, E-Verify, and no-match letter questions answered so you can stay in compliance without missing a beat. Register now for this informative event risk free.
