Prepare for Increased ICE Audits with I-9 Error Checklist
2022 included a hike to already lofty I-9 audit fines and a request to Congress for increased ICE investigator headcount. This foreshadows a renewed crackdown on employer compliance, making January the perfect opportunity to find and correct your I-9 errors before they become costly fines.
With a single error potentially costing upwards of $2500 and no limit to the maximum penalty, the fines add up quickly—one employer was fined $1.5 million by ICE in 2022. The good news is that nearly all I-9 errors can be proactively corrected if you know what to look for and how to properly document changes.
WorkBright created an internal audit checklist to guide you through the process: purging past-employee I-9s, identifying common errors per section, and making compliant corrections.
