Employer I-9 Compliance Overview

I-9 compliance is crucial for businesses to verify that employees are authorized to legally work in the U.S. Properly completing and maintaining Form I-9 for each employee helps ensure adherence to federal laws and avoids penalties. 

Non-compliance can lead to fines, audits, or even criminal charges for knowingly hiring unauthorized workers.

By staying compliant, employers protect themselves from legal risks, foster trust with stakeholders, and contribute to maintaining lawful employment practices. 

Regular audits and training on I-9 requirements can help businesses avoid costly mistakes and ensure a secure, legal workforce.
