New Webcast! Item #710: ICE, I-9s, Audits and Compliance
Webcast – Originally Recorded on 3/18/2026
Federal law requires that every employer who recruits, refers for a fee, or hires an individual for employment in the U.S. must complete Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services oversees the I-9 process. While the I-9 is the most used government form, the information does not go necessarily go into a central data bank. Some employers use E-Verify, third party companies, or complete the I-9s internally.
In 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) significantly ramped up I-9 administrative reviews and audits, with a renewed focus on strict workplace enforcement and substantially higher penalties.
Maybe it is time for an I-9 audit?
Join us for a lively discussion on I-9s, audits, ICE and compliance. You will understand the vital importance, more now than ever, of proper documentation.
