Georgia Chamber Webinar: Understanding The New I-9 Form & Immigration Compliance

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Wednesday, April 5th, 2017

Many employers see Form I-9 as a simple and routine part of the hiring process- until they undergo a federal audit and are hit with major fines for unintentional mistakes.  USCIS reports that 76% of paper I-9 Forms contain an error that could result in a fine.  The introduction of a new Form I-9, and an anticipated increase in workplace inspections creates a situation that could have costly ramifications for employers.

The new version of the Form I-9, which went into effect January 22, 2017, contains many changes, including new features, instructions and requirements. Join Yane P. McKenzie, Associate at Troutman Sanders LLP, on April 18, 2017 as she discusses key changes and provides practical tips on completing the new Form I-9 so employers can minimize the number of technical and substantive I-9 violations.

We will also discuss the Trump administration's focus on immigration reform and anticipated changes in enforcement of I-9 and E-Verify compliance. This webinar will provide answers to common questions, such as: How does this impact employers? Will this administration increase the number of I-9 audits? What companies or industries might be at risk?

Registration is $25 for Georgia Chamber Investors, which includes the webinar and recording, a week of access to the Georgia HR Library and one hour of SHRM/HRCI credit.
