Form I-9 audits

A Form I-9 audit is when government authorities examine an employer’s records to ensure they are correctly verifying their employees’ eligibility to work in the U.S. By reviewing these forms, agencies check for compliance with employment eligibility laws. If discrepancies or violations are found, employers may face fines or other penalties. The audit involves verifying that the forms are complete, accurate, and properly stored, helping maintain lawful employment practices and prevent unauthorized work.
