U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton announced on January 20 the creation of an Employment Compliance Inspection Center in Crystal City, Virginia. This center will be home to 15 auditors who will support ICE's worksite enforcement strategy by helping agency field offices around the country expedite Form I-9 audits of businesses selected for inspection by ICE.
The agency stresses that Form I-9 audits are one of the most powerful tools the federal government has to ensure that businesses are complying with U.S. employment laws. From fiscal year 2009 to date, ICE has initiated Form I-9 inspections against 3,769 businesses across the nation.
"The harsh reality is that employers should anticipate more I-9 audits, and soon," notes the law firm Jackson Lewis. "ICE I-9 audits are going to be a fact of life for more employers, large and small. This increased oversight, we think, will not end soon. As Ronald Reagan said, '[G]overnment programs once launched never disappear.'"
Employer Options:
1. If you have the time and the knowledge: Conduct your own I-9 Audit, see more information on right hand side bar.
2. If you don’t have the time: Contact your CEA regional director. He or she can come to you and in a matter of a few hours conduct a complete audit of your files, providing you with a list of any issues to be resolved and solutions for any errors found. Providing you with Peace of Mind!
