Worksite Compliance and the I-9/E-Verify employment verification process is very complex and even more so in today’s rapidly changing environment, including revisions to the Form I-9 Employment Verification Eligibility, remote workforce, increasing state laws focused on E-Verify and I-9 investigations as well as increased audits by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE issues significant civil fines and penalties for violations of these complex laws. Such audits and investigations not only disrupt the day-to-day business operations, but it can also lead to unwanted public relations issues. Similarly, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) enforces the anti-discrimination provisions of the I-9 regulations. These investigations may also result in significant civil fines and penalties, business operations disruptions and public relations issues.
