U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has made a significant change to how Form I-9 violations are classified, and the impact on employers could be substantial.<\/p>\n

Under updated guidance, ICE is reclassifying several violations that were previously considered \u201ctechnical\u201d as \u201csubstantive.\u201d This distinction matters. Technical violations could traditionally be corrected within a short period after an inspection and did not carry penalties. Substantive violations, on the other hand, cannot be corrected and may result in significant fines.<\/p>\n

This change means that common errors that employers may have previously fixed without consequence can now trigger immediate penalties.<\/p>\n

Examples of violations that may now be treated as substantive include missing key dates, incomplete sections of the form, failure to include required employer information, and other documentation errors. Even small omissions can now carry financial risk.<\/p>\n

For many employers, this removes an important safety net. There will be no opportunity to correct paperwork errors after receiving notice of an inspection, resulting in a higher level of exposure during I-9 audits. Employers could face fines for omissions previously considered harmless, and for larger employers, this financial exposure can add up quickly.<\/p>\n

This shift also reflects a broader trend toward stricter enforcement. ICE is placing increased emphasis not just on whether employees are authorized to work, but on whether every aspect of the I-9 form is completed accurately and in full compliance.<\/p>\n

Employers should take proactive steps now. This includes reviewing existing I-9 forms, conducting internal audits, ensuring HR teams are properly trained, and confirming that onboarding procedures meet current requirements.<\/p>\n

Waiting until an ICE inspection begins may be too late to correct issues.<\/p>\n

At Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco, LLP, we work with employers to identify risk, review I-9 compliance practices, and prepare for potential audits. We take the time to explain your exposure clearly and help you put safeguards in place before problems arise.<\/p>\n

If your organization has not recently reviewed its I-9 processes, now is the time. Call 212-233-8100<\/a> or visit our website<\/a> para concertar una consulta.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
