Overview
In this webinar, you will learn how to properly navigate Form I-9, E-Verify, and Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) — including correct verification procedures, how to fix errors, and how to stay audit-ready. Although Form I-9 applies to every employee, even small mistakes can create major compliance risks. And while E-Verify adds an extra layer of certainty, it can also introduce confusion.
This session will help HR and compliance professionals understand the latest updates, avoid common pitfalls, and effectively manage EADs. You’ll also learn practical methods for conducting internal I-9 audits to correct issues early and reduce the risk of penalties or enforcement actions. With new rules and alternative verification options now available, clear knowledge of what procedures are allowed — and when — is essential to protecting your organization.
