Immigration

The Immigration Reform and Control Act requires all U.S. employers to verify the identity and work authorization of every employee they hire in the U.S., by completing an I-9 form. The Obama Administration is stepping up audits of, and heftily penalizing, employers who do not complete their I-9 forms correctly.

Colleen L. Caden and Alice B. Stock, partners in Pryor Cashman’s Immigration Group, have written an informative Legal Update entitled, "Government Cracks Down On Employers For Paperwork Violations."
