Form I-9: ICE Requirement Updates for Remote & On-site Hires

Hiring new employees remotely left many employers unsure of how to update Form I-9. And now with many facilities continuing to keep at least part of their workforce remote, the rules on how to accurately complete Section 2 are still unclear.

Employers are still left with questions since Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) changed and then extended its guidance on how to conduct virtual document inspections. However, the extension has an expiration date and employers need to be ready for it.

Our 75-minute program will tackle the challenges of updating I-9s, current compliance requirements, plus upcoming changes. Join us to learn:

• Latest guidelines for verifying documentation of remote and on-site hires
• What to do if a document used for the virtual inspection has expired or been lost
• How to correct and document any errors they discovered during an update
• Notations to use if you missed any required deadlines or procedure

Program Highlights

Join us for this compliance-based program to learn how employers are now required to verify employee documentation and properly complete Form I-9 for both remote and on-site employees. Plus, important dates on when the extension granted for remote employees expires.
