CA2868 Preparing for the ICE Storm: Guiding Clients on ICE Worksite Enforcement Actions

No more noncompliance

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is putting greater emphasis on enforcing the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). Noncompliance can be costly and it's more important than ever to be ready for an audit.

Preparing for the ICE Storm: Guiding Clients on ICE Worksite Enforcement Actions gives you strategies for ensuring your business clients are following IRCA standards — and have the documentation to prove it.

Lay a groundwork of good procedures

IRCA requires businesses to verify employment authorization of their employees. It also prohibits immigration-related unfair employment practices like discrimination based on national origin.

When ICE arrives for a compliance inspection, will your clients be ready? Receive experienced advice on how to:

• Help employers make certain they only employ people authorized to work in the U.S.
• Provide guidance on the process of auditing Form I-9s
• Prepare for a Worksite Enforcement Action by ICE

Records-ready

The integrity of an organization’s employment records is just as important as that of their tax files and banking history.

Learn how you can assist employers in implementing best practices such as:

• Establishing a written Form I-9 compliance policy
• Training human resources staff on legal obligations
• Conducting external audits
• Using an employment verification program like:
  • ICE’s IMAGE
  • USCIS E-Verify

By proactively addressing any potential IRCA noncompliance, businesses can feel calm and confident when ICE comes knocking. Be the knowledgeable guide your clients need.
