USCIS revised the Form I-9 instructions to clear up several points of confusion, yet the form still holds many traps, made worse by the number of I-9s employers complete each year. This 90-minute webinar on Form I-9 changes explains what was updated and how to stay compliant.
The form itself changed little beyond the version date and expiration date. The instruction changes cover who can act as an employer's authorized representative, acceptable document clarifications, how to request a paper form, an updated privacy notice, use of N/A, remote employees and corrections in the employee section.
You'll also learn how to complete, correct and audit the form, how penalties work and best practices to avoid unnecessary violations.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
ICE has sharply increased I-9 audits and aims to create a reasonable expectation among employers that they will be audited. In one case a single employer paid $95 million, the largest payment ever in an immigration case. More than 72% of employers have errors in their I-9s.
The session suits employers of all sizes and industries, business owners, leaders, HR, payroll and compliance professionals, and managers.
