The Do's and Don'ts of Documenting I-9s
Employment Verifications
Are you confused by completing the Employment Verifications, commonly known as the "dreaded I-9?" If so, let me take just a short hour of your time to untangle the ball of confusion. Why is this little form so important? Failure to properly document the form could result in hefty fines to your organization if you are audited by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). In some blatant cases, some managers have even been arrested. Now that I have your attention, here are the basics of what I will cover:
Brief overview of who is required to maintain I-9s.
Simple filing procedures; where and when the I-9 should be filed
How to conduct internal audits
What to do if I find mistakes on existing I-9
E-Verify Program
These simple techniques and steps will save you and your organization a lot of resources and will give you a secure feeling knowing you can withstand an audit.
