Failure to accurately complete, maintain and store Form I-9, and to verify the identity and employment documents of each new hire, poses a serious financial risk for employers. Even clerical errors such as failure to sign or date the Form I-9 carry stiff fines that can quickly add up to thousands of dollars.

Special laws concerning employer sanctions have been put in place and the employer remains the target for enforcement and the entity most responsible for stopping undocumented workers from coming into the U.S. workforce. This has put a huge burden on some employers, who must choose to downsize their businesses, lose key workers, or face serious criminal charges or bankruptcy because of steep fines. Because all enforcement is selective, those choosing to comply with the law are doing so on an unfair playing field when competing with noncompliant employers who have not been targeted. It puts employers who try to comply with the law at a huge disadvantage in the marketplace; they are hiring and training U.S. workers, while providing dishonest employers with an advantage.

Author/attorney Ann Allot, who has been involved in many high profile cases, will guide the audience through her carefully detailed "compliance system." During this 20-minute Webinar, you'll gain the benefit of her expertise in dealing with enforcement cases with coverage that includes:
• Step-by-step guidance on all I-9 compliance procedures;
• Helpful illustrations and practice pointers from the author, a highly experienced immigration compliance attorney;
