Immigration enforcement has been in the spotlight recently, leaving many businesses uncertain about their rights and responsibilities as employers. While headlines often focus on raids, the reality is that most Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement interactions with employers come in the form of Form I-9 audits, sometimes scheduled, sometimes unannounced.
This Lunch and Learn will provide practical, educational guidance for employers who want to protect their businesses, their employees, and their peace of mind.
Learning Objectives:
- Form I-9 Audits: Amanda Haddaway of HR Answerbox, will share best practices for onboarding, I-9 compliance, and conducting pre-audits to catch mistakes before they become costly.
- Enforcement Preparedness: Lyceum Insurance will walk through what to do if faced with heightened enforcement, from audits to on-site inspections or, in rare cases, raids.
- Employer Rights and Responsibilities: Learn what federal law requires, how to avoid common pitfalls, and how to respond if government officials arrive at your workplace.
- Proactive Compliance Steps: Gain strategies for training staff, establishing policies, and preparing documentation to minimize disruption and risk.
This session is designed to provide knowledge and actionable strategies, giving you the tools to navigate immigration compliance with confidence.
