Why you should attend
In February 2020, the USCIS released a revised version of the I-9 Form, impacting every U.S. employer who recruits, hires, or refers individuals for employment.
Federal law requires all employers to complete Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to ensure their employees are authorized to work in the U.S.
This form, managed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), helps you verify both the identity and employment eligibility of your employees.
Key updates to the I-9 include:
-
- Clarification on who can act as an authorized representative on behalf of an employer.
- Updated USCIS website addresses for easier reference.
- Clarifications on acceptable documents for Form I-9.
- A new process for requesting paper I-9 forms.
- Updated DHS Privacy Notice to reflect recent changes.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of these changes and what they mean for your business. We will explore the purpose and evolution of the I-9 Form, helping you to:
-
- Understand the new regulations in detail.
- Properly process, verify, and store I-9 forms, ensuring a smooth onboarding process.
- Gain insights into what USCIS and auditors are looking for during compliance reviews.
