I think that I-9 compliance is ever so important today. The ICE is doing the right thing by auditing businesses to ensure that the employemnt eligibility documents are correctly filled out. Most companies do not specialize in I-9 forms, they focus on their core business be it selling food, cars, or professional services. We all need a professional audit company to help us coonfirm the accuracy of the I-9’s kept for all employees both present and for three years past an employment termination date. I am a small business owner and found a company called Legal Employer (www.legalEmployer.com) that helped me audit my records. I do not want to caught with inaccuracies when the ICE comes knocking on my door!

I am an HR manager for a company in NY. We actually hired an outside company to the audit and they found almost half of our I9s had issues. We were able to fix them and prepared for a DHS audit. Name of company is legalemployer.com. Good service!

From experience I can say be prepared. We worked with a resource – legalemployer.com who did a manual audit of all our I-9s. They were very helpful at ensuring we were in compliance and giving us peace of mind.

It should be like the liquor law, under age, breaking the law, both parties go to jail, and then fined the same amount the applicant has a responsible not to apply for work just as much as the employer has the responsible to hire, every time a applicant applies for work Non documented worker should be reported and hauled back to where they came from
