  GUARDIAN^SM: I-9 Compliance System with E-Verify Integration
  Rudnick Spector has partnered with our case management provider, LAWLOGIX, to offer you an I-9 and E-Verify management system, Guardian. Guardian’s I-9 paperless electronic compliance system makes online preparation and storage of Form I-9 simple and virtually error free. Included at no extra charge is an optional seamless interface between Guardian and E-Verify that streamlines the process of submitting employee data to E-Verify without having to re-enter I-9 data into a separate system. If you are interested in exploring the GUARDIAN^SM compliance system, Contact Rudnick Spector.

 

Form I-9 Compliance and Enforcement
All U.S. Employers must complete Form I-9 for every employee. This unassuming form can be puzzling to complete, especially for foreign workers. Failure to correctly complete and reverify Form I-9 can result in steep monetary penalties upon audit by ICE. ICE has heightened enforcement efforts and increased audits by more than 100% in the past year. Our immigration professionals are always available to offer an immediate response to any I-9 issue. Rudnick Spector also assists clients in developing and implementing I-9 compliance programs, conducts internal I-9 audits, and offers comprehensive and accessible training for staff.

E-Verify Compliance
The E-Verify program, formerly known as the Basic Pilot Program, is a free Internet-based system that employers use to confirm the legal status of newly hired employees. It is an employer compliance system developed under the auspices of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA). Some employers are required to use E-Verify (e.g. certain federal contract employers, all employers in Arizona, certain employers in Georgia, South Carolina, and Nebraska), and E-Verify is becoming increasingly required by individual states.

Rudnick Spector will assist your Company to navigate the piecemeal E-Verify laws to ensure that your Company, and all of its branches and divisions, is in full compliance with E-Verify mandates. Let us take the guesswork out of E-Verify Compliance for your Company.

H-1B Site Visits

USCIS’ enforcement agency has begun conducting unannounced employer site visits to assess employer compliance with the H-1B Program. USCIS claims to not need a subpoena or search warrant to complete a site visit, but you are entitled to legal representation.

Rudnick Spector attorneys are available to represent you even during impromptu site inspections. We encourage you to review your H-1B Corporate Compliance guidelines and allow us to assist you in proactively implementing comprehensive Corporate Compliance strategies.
