Employer Preparedness: I-9 and Immigration Issues

Under the Trump administration, employers can expect an increase in the enforcement of immigration compliance, specifically ICE I-9 audits and raids. It is important that employers understand their obligations regarding work authorization compliance, and best practices to follow in the event of an I-9 audit. 

Clients of Adams Keegan should ensure that an I-9 is timely completed for each new employee through Efficenter onboarding, and that copies of I-9 documents are uploaded to Efficenter when prompted. In the case of an I-9 audit, clients should reach out to Adams Keegan for assistance in gathering the requested documents. 

Adams Keegan will be addressing this topic in more detail during the upcoming February webinar. A date and registration link for this webinar will be sent out in the coming days.
