ABOUT THE EVENT

Are you ready for an ICE I-9 audit? It’s important to be ready for an ICE audit. ICE audits can be costly – the penalty for one I-9 violation can be over $2000. ICE audits often result in over $50,000 in penalties to employers and employers often are forced to terminate employees without proper work authorization. Some employers have paid $500,000+ in penalties. An internal I-9 audit will greatly minimize any penalties if done correctly. Thus, this webinar will provide information related to internal I-9 audits.

Why Should You Attend :

Employer representatives should attend in order to understand why I-9 compliance must be a priority. Often, it’s too late to think of I-9 compliance after ICE delivers a Notice of Inspection (NOI). Some ICE offices will give employers credit for corrections made after the delivery of an NOI.
