Although COVID-19 has shifted their focus on Vaccines in the workplace, the Department of Homeland Security continues to extend flexibility for remote employees when completing their I-9 Forms. DHS has expanded this option until May 31, 2021. While this flexibility is helpful to Employers, it only impacts remote employees. These Employers must understand that they are still required to reverify documents for those remote employees when normal operations resume. They also must have a policy in place to As immigration remains at the center of national attention, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is not just stepping up its enforcement efforts at the border they are increasing their efforts.
ICE has said it plans to conduct as many as 15,000 I-9 audits per year if it receives sufficient funding, and that one of its goals is to create a “reasonable expectation” among employers that they will be audited. They did receive the funding. Accordingly, all employers should be prepared. Generally, ICE enforces an employer’s obligation to verify, and re-verify, the work authorization of all new employees. ICE may enforce this responsibility through random I-9 compliance audits or through a narrower investigation based on a lead. The lead can be an anonymous tip, or facts that form a reasonable suspicion of an employer’s non compliance. ICE has been concentrating its recent enforcement efforts on investigations, not random audits like previously. These investigations have focused on all industries viewed as employing a large percentage of unauthorized workers (e.g., the construction industry, landscaping, manufacturing or agricultural industry). However, there are still efforts by ICE to continue investigations in the workplace.
