With Form I-9 audits increasing, employers must ensure they’re current on their I-9 documentation and filing practices. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has requested funding to hire 700 new positions in 2023, a sign that I-9 audits will only continue to increase in frequency. Employers should be aware of the regulations regarding their I-9 files to ensure compliance with the law and avoid hefty fines.

The 2023 Form I-9 Updates and Comprehensive 4-Hour I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Certificate Program is designed to help employers understand and comply with the latest regulations regarding employment eligibility verification. This program provides detailed guidance on the necessary forms and documentation, best practices for conducting audits, proper storage of records and other information relevant to ensuring compliance.

Why Should you attend this 4-hour I-9 Compliance Certificate Program?

This comprehensive 4-hour training program is designed to equip HR professionals, hiring managers, and other personnel responsible for completing the I-9 form with the necessary knowledge and skills to confidently verify employment eligibility and complete the I-9 form accurately and efficiently. Participants will learn the basic requirements of the I-9 process, as well as how to identify and resolve common errors and issues that can arise during the verification process.

The Government takes employment eligibility more seriously today than ever before. We can not put our organizations at risk because of mistakes, lack of knowledge or training. It is critical to be in compliance by being aware of all the new 2023 changes. Ignorance is not a defense in the eyes of the law!
