ALERT: ICE to Serve More Than 500 New Notices of Inspection
September 17th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) released the following announcement:
“Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has confirmed to AILA that the agency is serving more than 500 Notices of Inspection (NOIs) to companies throughout the U.S. this week. According to ICE, the audits flow in large part from leads about employers who allegedly are engaging in hiring unauthorized workers and paying employees unfair wages or otherwise exploiting workers.”
As information is released, GoffWilson will advise blawg readers. If your company is contacted by ICE, you will only have three business days to produce all of your I-9 forms. Along with the I-9 forms, ICE will also frequently ask for additional documents including payroll records, a list of currently employees, and business licenses. Contact GoffWilson if you receive a Notice of Inspection and before responding, as this is usually the first step of an audit and/or investigation. You may contact GoffWilson regarding this matter or related I-9 compliance issues.
