Federal immigration law makes the knowing employment of unauthorized workers unlawful. Employers are required to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all persons they hire after November 6, 1986. It is also unlawful for employers to continue to employ a worker who is subsequently found to be undocumented. Thus, the law requires employers to complete a Form I-9 for each new employee. Often times, employers unknowingly have errors on their I-9 records.

Alaniz & Schraeder, LLP has experience counseling employers with I-9 compliance and self-audits. By conducting I-9 audits, employers can reduce their exposure to substantial fines and sudden reductions in work force. Many employers also must ensure that their I-9 forms are up to par before selling their business interests. Don't wait until the government comes knocking on your door. Alaniz & Schraeder's Immigration Group is ready to assist your company with its I-9 compliance and other hiring issues.
