Legal Employer Provides I-9 Compliance Audits to Ensure Compliance with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) I-9 Requirements

West Palm Beach, Florida, July 16, 2009 – Legal Employer (www.legalemployer.com) provides assistance to U.S. businesses, large and small, in understanding the complexities of the I-9 process and providing clear and effective solutions so as to be prepared in the event of a DHS audit.  Legal Employer offers customized I-9 and E-Verify services including phone consultation, education packages, and on-site support and training courses with qualified I-9 and E-Verify experts.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency known as ICE, recently announced it had sent notices announcing audits of hiring records to 652 companies across the country.  This is part of the Obama administration’s shift in strategy on enforcing current immigration laws.  The new strategy shifts attention away from illegal workers to the employers that knowingly hire them.  Significant fines are issued to those companies found out of compliance with the law.

“Since the recent announcement from ICE, we have had an increase in the number of phone calls from businesses looking to tap into our expertise,” said Ted Ciricillo, President of Legal Employer.  “We work with our clients to help them avoid costly fines like the ones just placed on American Apparel which were reported by Immigration officials to be upwards of $150,000.  We help prepare our clients for future I-9 audits so that they are in compliance with the I-9 requirements and avoid the significant fines which can be assessed for noncompliance.”

Business owners should call 866-726-9620 for an initial consultation. All conversations are 100% confidential.   Legal Employer is a Designated Agent with the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify Program.
