Immigration I-9 Form Best Practices & New Wage & Hour Requirements for White Collar Employees
Lunch-and-Learn presented by Poyner Spruill
Wednesday, February 17, 2016, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
Jennifer Parser will speak on Best Practices for use and storage of I-9 Forms. She will review the purpose of the I-9, its format and issues such as re-verification, lost or missing I-9s, and Department of Labor audits. She will cover the use of electronic I-9 providers and storage issues, and will cover the effect of relying upon an acquired business’ I-9 practices. Other topics in this immigration best practices session include:
