9 What is the Purpose of an I-9 Audit Conducted by ICE? The Immigration Reform & Control Act (IRCA) Unlawful for employers to knowingly hire, recruit or employ illegal aliens. I-9 Audits are ICE s enforcement method of choice: Detect / deter employers from knowingly & intentionally employing unauthorized workers.

Discovery of I-9 violations can lead to monetary fines $110 - $1,100 for substantive/uncorrected technical violations $375 - $16,000 for knowingly hire/continue to employ civil penalties criminal prosecution Can cripple workforce if large % of unauthorized workers are detected Low skilled workforces particularly at risk
11 I-9 Inspection Process
12 Notice of Inspection (NOI) Compels production of Forms I-9 within 3 days. Additional documentation may be requested- i.e. payroll records & list of current employees. Contact counsel immediately once NOI issued in order to mitigate potential violations during 3 day window.

Settlement Process: Employer has opportunity to negotiate a settlement with ICE or request a hearing before the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO) within 30 days of receipt of NIF. If employer takes no action, ICE will issue a Final Order.

18 What to do when the Government Inspector knocks 1. Remain Calm 2. Review Official Credentials 3. Assemble Responsible Team If unavailable, reschedule with Inspector 4. Escort Inspector to a pre-determined area (conference room or office) until the team is assembled

22 OSHA Documents Typically Reviewed continued 6. Training Logs (e.g. hazard communication) 7. Inspection and Maintenance Logs of Equipment
23 During the OSHA Inspection Take an employee to the side as soon as OSHA shows up and have him/her go on a quick survey of the facility to make sure guards are all in place and all electrical boxes are shut and fire extinguishers are hung up in their places and unobstructed Fix what you can immediately!
24 More things you can do Take good notes or bring another employee along to do so Use your own camera to take the same photos Inspector takes Ask to be present during any employee interviews May not be allowed for non-management employees Be polite and treat Inspector with respect Think before you speak answer questions honestly
25 During the OSHA Inspection Generally, do not tell OSHA Inspector to come back when they have a warrant Do not volunteer information that does not relate to their visit/inquiry Do not ask questions about a regulation that does not relate to their visit Do not lie, deceive, try to cover up, or forge documentation Do not show OSHA Inspector any safety inspection checklists that you or your insurance company have done If possible Do not lead OSHA Inspector past or through a work area that may be out of compliance with OSHA regulations that day
26 To Prepare 1. Audit Records I-9 s OSHA Logs 2. Quiz Employees Where are Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) kept? Can they find them? Passwords? Where is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kept? Is it used? Conduct Mock Inspection
27 3. Ensure Required Posters are posted 4. Let Employees know they have the right to have a lawyer or company representative present at the interview.
28 Helpful Tips To Limit I-9 Liability 1. Train HR staff on I-9 Compliance Timeliness of Completion & Avoiding Errors Document Review 2. Conduct External I-9 Audit Internal audit, in alternative 3. Develop written comprehensive I-9 policies & procedures 4. Consider Electronic I-9 software Develop Tickler System, in alternative
29 Additional Pointers for I-9s 5. Consider E-VERIFY: Friend or Foe? 6. Purge I-9s: 1 year after termination or 3 years after date of hire, whichever is longer.
