i-9 compliance
The Employment Eligibility Verification form, commonly known as I-9, is often more complex than it appears. All persons newly-hired by an employer, even for just one day, must undergo I-9 verification. Mistakes in document verification and other compliance failures can result in significant fines or even allegations of discrimination. Our immigration attorneys help businesses to achieve and maintain effective I-9 compliance through the development of programs designed to meet verification and recordkeeping requirements.
WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL YOUR NEEDS MAY BE.
