Overview of the webinar

It's no secret that President-elect Donald Trump intends to carry out what he has called the largest mass deportation in U.S. history shortly after taking office.

U.S. employers particularly those in the manufacturing, food processing, agricultural, construction, and hospitality industries with a relatively unskilled workforce should immediately prepare for ramped-up government immigration enforcement in the workplace. Employers should get ready to endure a painful process, a sudden loss of workers, and administrative and criminal penalties.

With the anticipated increase in I-9 audits and intensified enforcement under the Trump Administration, ensuring your organization's compliance is more critical than ever. Join us for an informative webinar, where we'll equip you with the knowledge and tools to manage I-9 compliance effectively.
