Navigating the Complex World of Immigration Compliance: Stay ahead in an ever-evolving regulatory landscape!

Are you confident your organization is in full compliance with Federal immigration laws, or are you at risk of incurring costly fines, or worse, for potential violations?

In response to illegal immigration, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) in 1986. The IRCA was pivotal in legalizing approximately three million undocumented immigrants and deterring future undocumented immigration.

To align with IRCA’s directives, all U.S. employers must complete a Form I-9 for each employee hired post-November 6, 1986.

It’s a Federal violation to knowingly hire employees unauthorized to work in the United States.

The Federal Form I-9, or Employment Eligibility Verification, is a critical tool for employers to verify an employee’s work eligibility in the U.S. Employers must maintain these forms and present them for inspection by officials from the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Labor, and the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices.

This interactive training equips you with essential knowledge and tools to navigate the intricate terrain of immigration compliance, enabling informed decision-making that supports your organization’s objectives.
