HR Compliance Reminder
Make sure your company is using the new I-9 form for all new hires beginning January 22, 2017. The new form is dated 11/14/2016 and has an expiration date of 8/31/2019.
Do you know if your company is compliant with current Federal I-9 policies and procedures? The Trump administration has promised to increase immigration enforcement personnel by at least 25% with a good portion of those new hires dedicated to investigating compliance and enforcing immigration regulations on employers(someone needs to pay for the wall!). A good way to see if your company is doing all it can to protect itself from government fines and penalties is to conduct internal and external I-9 compliance audits.
