The new administration is prioritizing worksite enforcement and targeting employers with increased ICE activity. This presentation will discuss how employers can prepare and protect themselves.
- Potential ICE visits: We will discuss employers’ legal rights and obligations in CA under AB 450 and how to prepare for a visit from ICE.
- Potential ICE Audits: We will discuss how ICE determines and imposes monetary fines and criminal penalties for I-9 violations, and recommendations on how employers can prepare for an ICE audit to minimize fine and liability exposure. We will also discuss the additional fines and potential criminal charges an employer could face by continuing to employ individuals who are not legally authorized to work.
- Potential Hard Choices & Tough Conversations: We will talk about the importance of discussing a plan with the company’s ownership and management as to how the company will address and handle employees who may no longer be authorized to work and not eligible for relief – to be ready for some potentially difficult choices that may be needed.
