Texas SHRM Webinar - Form I-9 and E-Verify Compliance: Recent Developments & Upcoming Changes

  • May 18, 2022
  • 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
  • Virtual


What issues do HR, immigration teams, and employment counsel need to be aware of to comply with I-9 and E-Verify obligations in a changing work environment?

As workers move from remote to in-office and as COVID-related government exemptions allowing temporary “virtual” document verification come to an end, employers should prepare for upcoming changes in I-9 and E-Verify procedures.

Join this discussion to understand important changes in I-9 and E-Verify employer obligations in the coming months.

Attendees will learn about:

  • I-9 verification requirements and pandemic-related exemptions.
  • Recent developments and upcoming policy and regulatory changes that will impact your Form I-9 and E-Verify programs.
  • The benefits, risks and practical considerations of virtual employment eligibility verification.
  • What to expect in the new version of Form I-9.
