2025 I-9 and E-Verify Updates: Solutions to Avoid Penalties
Date: March 13, 2025
Speaker: Jacquiline M. Wagner
Are you confident your organization is in full compliance with Federal immigration laws, or are you at risk for being assessed costly fines, or worse, for potential violations?
Government investigations of employers' I-9 compliance have been a key part of both Democratic and Republican administrations' efforts to combat unauthorized immigration. Form I-9, which became mandatory in the United States on November 6, 1986 when the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) was passed, is one of many crucial documentation processes required of employers in the United States. Form I-9 is intended for employers to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired to work in the United States.
Ensure your organization stays compliant with federal immigration laws and avoids costly penalties with our upcoming webinar on Form I-9 compliance. This session, led by expert speaker Dayna J. Reum, will cover critical updates to Form I-9, best practices for verifying employee identity and authorization, and guidance on conducting internal audits. You’ll learn how to handle I-9 inspections, correct forms properly, and implement compliance policies to defend against ICE enforcement actions. Gain the tools and knowledge needed to navigate employment eligibility verification with confidence in this comprehensive 60-minute program.
The webinar will also cover potential policy shifts under President Trump’s administration, focusing on how employers can prepare for heightened scrutiny, enforcement trends, or new compliance requirements related to employment eligibility verification.
