Learn More About Our I-9 Compliance Practice

The new presidential Administration is serious about immigration law enforcement, initiating a growing wave of workplace raids and investigations by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). An effective, proactive way for employers to assess workplace immigration compliance, and significantly reduce risk, is to conduct a privileged I-9 compliance audit.


Silberman Law conducts comprehensive audits of clients’ I-9 compliance. We provide privileged audit results showing compliance gaps, clear and practical fixes to get into compliance, and effective training for company personnel to ensure future compliance.

  • What Are the Risks from I-9 Non-Compliance? I-9 compliance sounds simple, but mistakes happen, and those inadvertent, uncorrected mistakes have major consequences during an ICE audit. The range for civil penalties for employer I-9 violations is currently $281 to $2,789 per form (as of June 2024). Even if an employer is not employing unauthorized workers, penalties for I-9 mistakes still apply, and can add up quickly.


  • I-9 Audit Process & Priorities – 
  1. Identify Current Employees Missing I-9s & Have Employees Complete Them 
  2. Analyze and Correct Mistakes in I-9 Sections 1, 2, and 3 for Current Employees
  3. Assess Forms for Terminated Employees & Correct Permissible Employer Errors 
  4. Carefully Follow Rules for Correcting Mistakes
  5. Analyze & Ensure E-Verify Compliance 


  • Privileged Post-Audit Report – We complete the audit with a report, under legal privilege, of fixes and process changes that can be made to ensure compliance. This will serve your organization well during upcoming ICE audits and investigations.

 

  • Post-Audit Training – We provide practical, effective training to personnel responsible for your company’s I-9 process to ensure future compliance.
