Overview
In this 60-minute webinar, immigration attorney Bruce Buchanan, co-author of The I-9 and E-Verify Handbook, and immigration compliance blogger on Twitter at @buchananvisalaw, will look at the unique challenges that the hospitality industry has in the world of immigration compliance. Because the hospitality industry has a higher percentage of undocumented workers than most other industries, it ends to draw more of the focus from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), though I-9 Notices of Inspection. In the last 2 to 3 years, has ramped up its attacks on employers, especially ethnic restaurants.
Why Should You Attend
Were you one of the unlucky employers who have received an ICE Notice of Inspection in 2018, 2019 or 2020? Hope you weren’t but your company may be next. And these audits are of businesses, including restaurants. In the last year, Mr. Buchanan has represented many restaurants in ICE audits. Mr. Buchanan will teach employers what to do now before an ICE inspection or ICE raid – require all employees to complete an I-9 form (did you know there is a new I-9 form that employers are required to use for new hires) with proof of work-authorized status, conduct an internal I-9 audit, understand E-Verify, and draft and follow an effective Immigration Compliance Policy for your organization.
