Managing Form I-9 and E-Verify Compliance in a Brave New World
Thirty years ago, Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which established a bold new program for ensuring a legal workforce. Fast-forward to 2016, and employers still struggle to stay compliant with confusing Form I-9 and E-Verify rules and new immigration laws at the state and local level.
