Immigration Obligations for Employers

 

Employers have been saddled with the obligation to simultaneously verify that an employee is work-authorized and prohibition against national origin discrimination and document abuse. This handbook provides employers example work cards and instruction about these obligations. https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/handbook-employers-m-274

Andrade Legal can provide on-site emergency consultation when an employer is served a notice from Immigration and Customs Enforcement about the need to conduct an audit or turn over records. The best defense to hefty fines for employing non work-authorized individuals is good training and preparation.
