Employment eligibility status and Form I-9 compliance

Purpose of Form I-9

Form I-9 is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. All U.S. employers must ensure proper completion of Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens. Both employees and employers (or authorized representatives of the employer) must complete the form. 

Employer liability for Form I-9 violations can range from $220.00 – $2,191.00 per Form I-9 with violations.

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), which is charged with enforcing I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification compliance, raided nearly one hundred stores across the country, including stores in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. ICE served inspection notices, interviewed employees and management, and made twenty-one arrests. These raids followed acting director Thomas Homan’s recent directive to ICE agents to increase worksite investigations by “four to five times.” To put this in perspective, in 2017, there were 1,360 worksite investigations by ICE, which resulted in businesses being ordered to pay $97.6 million in judicial forfeiture, fines and restitution, and $7.8 million in civil fines. A four to five factor increase from 2017 will disrupt thousands of additional businesses. There is no sign that this trend will slow any time soon.
