Welcome to the tenth issue in our series, Compliance Check 2020, a monthly publication that will help you perform a self-assessment of your company’s compliance with federal, state and local employment laws and regulations. In this edition, we help you evaluate your immigration compliance practices.

contentpilot/introduction

With the current presidential administration emphasizing immigration-related inspections, preparation is key to a successful response. This publication will address three common types of government audits and compliance inspections related to immigration: I-9 Notices of Inspection, Department of Homeland Security H-1B site visits and Department of Labor H-1B audits. Another type – ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) raids – are not as common and will not be discussed here. While each has its own characteristics, many principles for response exist across the board.
