Employer Compliance

The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 ("IRCA") required employers under that law to verify the identity and work authorization status of every employee of the business. The mechanism for compliance is the I-9 Employment Verification Form that every worker must complete on the day of hire or earlier. Failure to comply with IRCA’s I-9 rules can result in but not limited to: significant fines, and highly negative publicity for a company.
