When most U.S. employers hear the word “ice” these days, they probably think about the penalties for non-compliance with new government E-Verify regulations instead of frozen water.

For those employers getting chills down their spines from recent worksite raids by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the new rule requiring the use of E-Verify by federal contractors that went into effect on September 8, I-9Compliance.com – a designated E-Verify service agent and member of the Pre-Employ.com Family of Companies – offers complimentary webinar titled “E-Verify & Federal Contractors: Know The Facts” that is currently available for on-demand viewing at http://www.i-9compliance.com/On-Demand-Webinars.aspx. 

The enlightening webinar – presented by Jorge R. Lopez, Esq. of Littler Mendelson, P.C. and Peter Weiglein of I-9Compliance.com – features key issues surrounding the new rule that began September 8 requiring federal contractors and subcontractors to use the E-Verify electronic verification system to verify their employees’ eligibility to work in the United States. In addition, the webinar discusses ICE’s new worksite enforcement initiative that targets companies that hire illegal workers – including Executives, Managers, and Human Resources Professionals – instead of the illegal workers themselves.

Viewers of “E-Verify & Federal Contractors: Know The Facts” will learn how to maintain full compliance, reduce liability, eliminate errors, and ensure a legal workforce to avoid government audits that can lead to fines, penalties, and even jail. They will also learn answers to the following questions:

• What Is ICE (U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement)?
• What Is E-Verify & How Does E-Verify Work?
• What Is The Federal Contractor Rule?
• What Employees Must Be Verified & When?

Now more than ever, employers must maintain full compliance or risk government audits. A designated E-Verify service agent, I-9Compliance.com – a member of the Pre-Employ.com Family of Companies – is pre-integrated with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) E-Verify system and provides employers with an electronic employment verification solution to help them manage complex compliance issues in a web-based, paperless environment.

And it is a good cure for a case of the chills.
