With tens of thousands of I-9 audits expected to occur under the second Trump presidency, many businesses are understandably concerned about unintentional I-9 violations. Even small mistakes on an I-9 form, like missing information or outdated documents, can result in thousands of dollars in fines, lengthy workplace disruptions, and irreparable damage to your company’s reputation. In order to avoid these risks, businesses need a clear plan for managing I-9 forms and responding to audits before they happen. Creating an effective plan starts with understanding what I-9 forms are, which documents are required to prove employee work eligibility, and what to expect from different types of audits.

Workplace safety isn’t just about following protocol, it can save lives. Occupational hazards like workplace accidents and violence pose serious threats, with California alone experiencing 504 fatal work injuries in 2022 and 57 workplace violence-related deaths in 2021. Alongside these deadly occurrences are the hundreds of thousands of nonfatal incidents that happen each year, each of which can result in significant harm to employees, hefty regulatory penalties, and substantial loss of productivity. In order to avoid these consequences and remain compliant with regulatory agencies, employers must establish effective workplace safety plans.
