Workplace Immigration Audits Are Increasing—Are You Ready?

Protect your business by being prepared before an audit happens. A clear response plan ensures you know your rights, fulfill your legal obligations, and safeguard your company and your employees.

I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification

Complete and maintained I-9 forms are required for all employees to verify identity and work authorization. Many companies fail to do so correctly which can incur large fines.

Civil Penalties for I-9 Violations

  • Paperwork errors: Fines range from $281 to $2,789 per violation,
    and even minor mistakes can add up quickly.

  • Knowingly hiring or continuing to employ unauthorized workers:

    • First offense: $698 – $5,579 per violation

    • Second offense: $5,579 – $13,946 per violation

    • Third offense: $8,369 – $27,894 per violation
