Why Should you attend this 4-hour 2020 I-9 Compliance Certificate Program?

We all know that we need to complete a Form I-9 for each individual who works for us, but we also need to ensure that we are completing Forms I-9 in compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). This in-person or online 2020 I-9 Compliance Certificate Program will provide you all the tools to be in compliance with the law and avoid lawsuits, significant fines, and even civil and criminal penalties. The Government takes employment eligibility seriously today more than ever before. We can not put our organizations at risk because of mistakes, lack of knowledge or training. Ignorance is not a defense in the eyes of the law!
