Human Resources Update & I-9 Compliance

This class is vital for every employer to attend! Attendees will learn the most recent human resource laws and regulations, including FLSA issues, exempt v. non-exempt status, what makes a contract worker, and much more.

The workshop will also cover I-9 compliance. To avoid severe penalties, every employer must fully understand their responsibility to verify the identity and work eligibility of every person they hire. EVERY EMPLOYER is required to complete the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification for EVERY person they hire – regardless of citizenship or immigration status. For the first time in 24 years, government agents are actively enforcing the law concerning the Form I-9 and most employers are falling well short of what is considered “compliance”. In this information packed workshop you will learn:

The Top 5 mistakes employers make on the Form I-9 that costs them BIG when audited by ICE; Who must complete the Form I-9 and when; Rules concerning sub-contractors and independent contractors; Additional steps every Colorado employer must take to avoid fines and penalties; Who can use E-Verify; Special rules for employers using E-Verify; Additional concerns for companies with Federal or State contracts; What businesses are most at risk for government audits; And much more!
