To comply with the law, employers must verify the identity and employment authorization of each individual they hire by completing and retaining the Employment Eligibility Verification form (Form I-9). Employers must have a completed Form I-9 for every employee hired after Nov. 6, 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>To monitor employers\u2019 compliance with Form I-9 obligations, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conduct audits. These audits\u2014also known as inspections\u2014are often an in-depth review of an employer\u2019s completed Forms I-9 and supporting documents for current and former employees. Recently, the federal government has greatly increased Form I-9 audits, exposing more employers to fines and penalties for Form I-9 violations. As a result, it\u2019s important that employers understand the basics of a Form I-9 audit and how to properly prepare for a government audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Compliance Overview provides employers with a broad overview of Form I-9 audits to help them comply with legal requirements and reduce the risk of costly civil and criminal penalties: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/PDFs\/June2026_Compliance-Overview.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Practices to Prepare for Form I-9 Audits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/PDFs\/June2026_Compliance-Overview.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/images\/newsletter\/hr\/Blog\/June2026_Compliance-Overview-PDF.jpg\" alt=\"Best Practices to Prepare for Form I-9 Audits\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal law requires employers to hire only individuals who may legally work in the United States\u2014either U.S. citizens or authorized foreign nationals.
