Form I-9: Employment Eligibility Verification - Webinar (ONLINE EVENT: May 29, 2025)

Understand the legal landscape surrounding the Employment Verification process.

The process of employment eligibility verification through Form I-9 is a universal requirement applicable to employees at all organizational levels, from entry-level positions to the highest echelons of seniority. At the same time, because of its ubiquity and seeming simplicity, it also carries a large amount of potentially unrecognized liability for a company. Supplemental programs such as E-Verify offer a method for more certainty in the process, but the program itself can cause confusion of its own. This presentation will help the individuals responsible for employment verification, onboarding, compliance, and the formulation of company policy and procedure to properly navigate the Employment Eligibility Verification process, understand its updates, and navigate E-Verify. By discussing and providing a methodology for conducting internal company audits on I-9s, this presentation aims to help attendees identify problem areas in company procedures, correct errors and mitigate future consequences for the company, and navigate any government enforcement actions brought against them. Improper I-9 systems and procedures can and do lead to hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars imposed on companies in fines, both for those that are too lax in their procedures, and for those that are too strict. With recent updates to procedures and providing alternative pathways for verification, an understanding of what process are allowed when is critical for companies to meet their legal obligations, especially as we enter a presidential administration that has promised increased enforcement action.

Learning Objectives

• You will be able to describe E-Verify and how it is best used in your business.
• You will be able to explain how to conduct an internal audit and have a sample methodology for conducting your own audit.
• You will be able to identify I-9 issues and know how to correct them.
• You will be able to review your internal onboarding systems and policies for issues that could lead to liability.
