I-9 Audits

An I-9 audit is a review by government authorities to ensure employers are properly verifying their employees' identity and authorization to work in the U.S. by maintaining completed I-9 forms. During an audit, officials check if the forms are accurate, complete, and stored correctly. Non-compliance can lead to fines or penalties. Companies should regularly review their I-9 documentation to ensure it aligns with current laws, maintain good record-keeping practices, and promptly correct any errors or missing information to stay compliant and avoid potential legal issues.
