Contact: Debra Dotson 312/988-5597

This program will help you understand the IDR cycle, the psychological reasons for impasse, and how to prepare yourself and clients for dealing with impasse.

Guidelines for Working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
During An I-9 Investigation
Contact: Debra Dotson 312/988-5597

90 Minute Teleconference
1:00 PM – 2:30 PM Eastern
|
The Immigration Reform and Control Act (“IRCA”) prohibits employers from knowingly hiring or continuing to employ unauthorized workers. Employers are legally obligated to verify the identity and employment eligibility of new employees within the first three days of employment and to properly maintain these records. Emphasizing the administration’s commitment to ensuring compliance in this area, in July 2009, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) served 652 Notices of Inspection (NOIs) to employers nationwide. Companies were reportedly selected based on results of formal investigations and not merely on a random basis. Over time, most employers have learned that, even for the most conscientious, IRCA compliance is fraught with administrative pitfalls. This program is designed to promote an understanding of I-9 compliance best practices as well as guidelines for working with the government in the midst of an investigation. This concise presentation of “must-know” ICE enforcement and verification compliance minefields has been developed for employers, HR personnel, and in-house counsel and business and employment attorneys.
