Join our expert Dawn Lurie for an informative webinar on the latest updates in Form I-9 Audit Readiness and Compliance Risks.

 

Our experts will walk you through critical regulatory changes and system enhancements to help you stay compliant and prepared.

 

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • Understand current ICE enforcement priorities, increased penalties, and the Form I-9 compliance issues that can create significant employer liability.
  • Learn how attorney-directed assessments can identify systemic compliance risks, guide defensible remediation, and help employers prepare for potential audits.
  • Identify common operational challenges behind Form I-9 compliance failures and practical strategies to reduce risk throughout hiring and onboarding.
  • Evaluate electronic Form I-9 systems and migrations by understanding regulatory requirements, data integrity considerations, and electronic recordkeeping obligations.

 

Stay ahead of evolving regulations and ensure your processes are aligned with the latest requirements.

 

 

 

 

The session, hosted by HR.com, will explore the benefits of properly structured internal assessments, practical remediation strategies, and the potential advantages of conducting sensitive reviews under attorney-client privilege when appropriate.

 

In addition, we will discuss the growing role of Electronic Form I-9 systems in employer compliance programs. Attendees will learn key considerations when selecting, implementing, or transitioning between electronic platforms and why careful planning, data validation, and record preservation are critical as government agencies increasingly scrutinize electronic records and audit trails during inspections.

 

Participants will leave with actionable recommendations to improve audit readiness, strengthen compliance processes, and better position their organizations for whatever enforcement challenges may lie ahead.
