Verifying employment eligibility is one of HR's most vital tasks. I-9s, those seemingly short and simple forms, can become huge liabilities if your organization improperly completes, files, or administers them. Think it can’t happen to you? That's what Abercrombie & Fitch thought -- before it was hit with a $1 million-plus fine for I-9 errors. And with a new I-9 form proposal on the table, it’s more important than ever for your recordkeeping procedures to be current and accurate.

E-Verify is designed to be easy and safe, but the smallest mistake can let unauthorized applicants gain employment -- or spark discrimination claims if an inaccuracy in your hiring procedure leads to you denying someone a job.

And then there's the SSA's recently reinstated no-match letters, documentation sent to employers notifying them that they have an employee whose name doesn’t match a valid Social Security number, which are proving to be another area of confusion for employers.

With the latest immigration crackdown under way, it's crucial for you to make your I-9 administration and E-verify processes run smoothly and in a legally safe way, and for you to understand every step of the no-match letter process from receipt to conclusion so you can stay in compliance.

Participate in this interactive webinar, and you’ll learn:

  • How the new proposed I-9 form will impact your compliance practices and procedures
  • Best practices for bulletproofing your I-9 procedures, from filling out, verifying, filing, and destroying the forms to auditing your I-9s and dealing with employees who refuse to submit them
  • The latest updates on E-Verify, including tips for handling "tentative non-confirmations" properly and giving your employees notice that you're using the system
  • How you should handle federal immigration records requests, audits, and on-site inspections
  • The difference between a Warning Notice and a Notice of Intent to Fine and when you should use each one
  • When an ICE Field Agent can issue fines
  • Differences between technical and substantive I-9 violations and how each one can impact your organization
  • How to address each of these deficiencies in your recordkeeping
  • And much more

In just 90 minutes, you'll have all of your I-9, E-Verify, and no-match letter questions answered so you can stay in compliance without missing a beat. Register now for this informative event risk free.

How Do Webinars Work?

A webinar is remarkably cost-effective and convenient. You participate from your office, using a regular telephone and a computer with an Internet connection. You have no travel costs and no out-of-office time.

Plus, for one low price, you can get as many people in your office to participate as you can fit around a speakerphone and a computer screen.

Because the conference is live, you can ask the speakers questions - either on the phone or via the webinar interface.

You will receive access instructions via e-mail several days before the event. You don't need any additional materials before the webinar starts. Your conference materials will be available for you to view, print, and download when you log in to participate in the event.
