Overview

Worksite compliance has moved from the bottom of the pile to the boardroom agenda in recent years, thanks to recent high profile cases. One cannot go a week without seeing headlines about I-9 audit fines, visa scandals, allegations of citizenship or nationality discrimination, and the resultant fallout of sinking stock prices or bruised reputations of the protected brands of the company caught in the crosshairs.

Once thought of as an “easy” one-page form, the now two-page Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification brings with it a labyrinth of rules, a 66-page government manual to explain the two-page form, and conflicting government interpretations. To complicate matters further, companies that choose or are required to use E-verify, the government’s electronic program that verifies the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees, are being data mined by the government. The data that is being given to the government in connection with E-verify is being evaluated. As the vast majority of E-verify users have data that is non-compliant, companies increase the risk of an audit from E-verify and the agencies that E-verify refers to: Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Office of Special Counsel, and the Department of Labor, to name a few.

This course, presented by Amy L. Peck of Jackson Lewis P.C., who is one of the firm’s Immigration Practice Group Leaders, covers in a way never done before the top 10 compliance issues facing companies, and how you should be thinking about compliance in order to survive.
