I-9 Compliance and Audits: Form I-9 Updates for 2020

Form I-9 compliance depends on getting every step right. If an employer misses a step or fails to collect the proper documents, it risks fines and serious legal complications, so each employee's I-9 needs careful verification.

This 90-minute webinar explains who must comply, the changes and clarified instructions on the form, best practices and timelines for completing it, employer and employee responsibilities, acceptable documents and how to verify them. You'll cover common errors and how to correct them, reverification, copying, storage and retention, self-audits, ICE audits and inspection notices, levels of violations and the consequences of non-compliance.

The session also explains E-Verify: how it differs from the I-9, its benefits, rules, states that require it, and E-Verify audits.
