Complying with the NEW I-9 and E-Verify Regulations

Course Description

The number of companies that were totally in compliance in the presenter’s 25+ years of conducting I-9 Audits is ZERO

Making sure your I-9 forms are 100% correct gives you peace of mind and helps you avoid big problems later.

Why Compliance Matters

It’s very important for companies to understand their compliance status by making sure they:

• Use the correct Form I-9 (you’ll get a copy of the new form in the session)
• Fill out the forms completely and correctly
• Copy the right documents and know when it’s necessary to copy them
• Keep proper records
• Update temporary work visas on time
• Do not hire employees without valid documents
• Communicate properly with employees and new hires
• Audit their I-9s and know how to fix mistakes

Areas Covered in the Session:-

• What to expect from the Trump Administration
• Raids – what they are and how they affect your business
• Recent penalties for non-compliance
• Employer responsibilities
• Review of the new I-9 form
• How to follow up on temporary work authorizations
• How to decide how long to keep I-9 forms
• How to do a self-audit and correct mistakes
• Action items and Q&A

Background:-

The Trump Administration announced plans to deport undocumented immigrants starting January 20, 2025. Employers should prepare for more I-9 audits, higher fines, and business disruptions.

Expect more raids in industries like construction, hospitality, agriculture, and food processing — just like during the last Trump term.

Why You Should Attend:-

Last year, DHS and USCIS released a new I-9 form and updated rules. Some changes allow remote verification of documents, but only under certain conditions.

If you’re not following the new rules, you could face major fines — from $272 to $2,701 per incorrect I-9 form, depending on how many are wrong.

If you haven’t done an I-9 audit recently, now is the time! Compliance is easy when you know what to do, but many companies don’t take the time to train their staff properly.

Don’t let your company become another statistic. Attend this webinar to stay compliant and have peace of mind if Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ever visits.
