Below are several proactive steps that businesses should take to ensure that their employees are legally authorized to work in the county.
Your company is legally required to have a properly completed Form I-9 on file for every employee.
Employee Training in this regard is critical. Ensuring that your managers and HR staff know how to properly complete I-9 forms, recognize document issues, and take appropriate action if they suspect an employee may lack proper work authorization helps prevent problems before they arise.
In the event representatives from a federal agency come to your worksite, having your conduct mapped out prior to their arrival will help maintain workplace productivity and temper emotions among your workers.
Regularly auditing I-9 forms is key to identifying and remedying any discrepancies.
To effectively do this, seeking counsel from an experienced immigration attorney to conduct periodic, thorough audits will help ensure that your records are accurate and up to date.
Just like fire drills, conduct simulated audits to train your team to respond calmly and correctly under pressure. In these instances, it is important that every employee at your worksite understands their rights in these situations.
Federal agents investigating your worksite will appreciate being able to quickly obtain the documentation that they are looking to inspect.
