Are you ready for the crackdown?


The Bush Administration last month unveiled a pile of 26 new immigration-related enforcement initiatives, many of which affect the way you hire, fire and keep paperwork on employees.

Among the changes:
  • adjustments to the number and type of allowable I-9 documents
  • increased fines on employers who hire illegals
  • requiring certain employers to use the government’s online verification system
The New York Times says the “most infuriating and dangerous is the crackdown involving ‘no-match’ letters.” The feds send such letters to companies when they find discrepancies in employees' Social Security numbers.

The new rules lay out step-by-step instructions on how employers must respond to such letters – or face fines of $10,000 per employee or criminal sanctions. When and how enforcement will happen remains up in the air – all the more reason you need to be prepared!

Don't put your organization or your career at risk. Get ahead of the curve by learning about these changes – and the common mistakes you’re making with your current I-9 process.
