Overview:

Federal law requires that every employer who recruits, refers for a fee, or hires an individual for employment in the U.S. must complete Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.

The Form I-9 process, managed by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, will help you verify your employee's identity and employment authorization.

In 2020, the USCIS issued a new I9 form, which must be used for all workers starting in August 2020. We will review the changes and all the important information regarding the I9 process. WE will highlight best practices and procedures for remote verification, it’s changes to the E-Verify Process, and other topics the DOL wants employers to know with the current pandemic.

The I9 and W4 forms are payroll forms that employers MUST RECEIVE during the hiring process. Employers take a high risk not obtaining them prior to employment. The IRS and the USCIS both have specific rules on how to obtain, verify and process these forms. In some cases, penalties for I9 non-compliance can result in jail time, as well as Homeland Security, the FBI, an USCIS immigration audits. If you don’t use the new W4, it could result in your company being reviewed for under or over withholding federal income tax.

So let’s understand all rules that apply to these forms. 2020 is fast approaching and you won’t want to be left behind. Join Mark Schwartz, a payroll tax expert, in his fast paced and complete webinar designed to get you ready NOW.
