Why Employer Compliance Matters
For employers, immigration compliance is essential to avoid costly penalties, sanctions, and legal liabilities. Failing to follow proper immigration procedures or verify employment eligibility can result in substantial fines, audits, and loss of the ability to hire foreign workers. Common issues businesses face include:
-
I-9 Violations: The U.S. requires all employers to verify that their employees are eligible to work. Failure to properly complete, retain, and update I-9 forms can result in civil penalties and legal complications.
-
E-Verify Misuse: Not using E-Verify or using it incorrectly can expose businesses to penalties. E-Verify is a mandatory requirement for certain employers, and understanding how to properly use it is crucial for compliance.
-
Visa Sponsorship Risks: Failure to adhere to the terms of an employee’s visa can result in penalties for both the employer and employee. Ensuring that employees remain within the terms of their visa status is critical for businesses that sponsor foreign workers.
-
Remote Work Challenges: With the rise of remote work, employers must navigate the legal complexities of maintaining compliance with U.S. immigration laws while employees are located in other states or countries.
