LIVE ONLINE TRAINING COURSE

Form I-9 compliance involves more than completing a form. Employers must follow proper document verification procedures, maintain accurate records, correct errors appropriately, and establish consistent policies to meet federal employment eligibility verification requirements.

With the Form I-9 edition expiration date extended to May 31, 2027, employers need to understand the applicable form requirements, electronic system updates, and procedures for maintaining compliant records. A well-organized Form I-9 process can help employers identify errors, strengthen internal controls, and prepare for a potential inspection by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Join this practical webinar to learn how to complete, review, correct, audit, and retain Form I-9 records. Discover common compliance mistakes, understand employer responsibilities, and develop effective documentation and recordkeeping practices to help reduce unnecessary violations.
