Employment Eligibility Compliance Services
Avoid costly government audits by utilizing VISANOW’s comprehensive compliance services which help employers organize their I-9s, create efficient I-9 processes, and mitigate non-compliance risks such as fines, arrests, workforce disruption, and negative publicity from intensifying government enforcement efforts.
What It Entails, Why You Should Care, and What to Do
The U.S. government has intensified its enforcement of I-9 compliance. While the laws governing Form I-9 are not new, they are now being more strictly enforced by the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) in conducting premeditated and undisclosed compliance audits.
Non-compliance ramifications can be severe. Penalties and sanctions range from hefty monetary fines, debarment from bidding on government contracts, and participating in immigration programs, to administrative or criminal arrests, and asset forfeiture.
Form I-9 Compliance
Form I-9 must be used by every employer to verify the identity and work authorization of all employees according to the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986. All individuals hired after November 6, 1986 must have an individual Form I-9 completed within three business days of their start date. Employers are responsible for completing, storing, and re-verifying Form I-9s.
All U.S. citizens need to complete one Form I-9 at the beginning of employment with your company. Additionally, foreign nationals may require multiple I-9 forms for re-verification each time a new visa is acquired or renewed.
How to work toward I-9 compliance:
- Know the Form I-9 regulations
- Develop an I-9 compliance process and train stakeholders to implement it
- Consider online Form I-9 storage to increase accessibility
- Conduct regular internal audits to identify and correct any non-compliance issues
