Overview
In this webinar, I will discuss the importance of being ready for a Notice of Inspection (NOI) - also referred to as audit by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), what happens when an ICE audit occurs, and an employer's potential liability for I-9 errors discovered by ICE in the audit. The webinar will discuss the need for preventive maintenance - an employee performing an internal I-9 audit - which should discover many of the I-9 errors and correct them, if possible. We will discuss what happens if an employer is chosen for an ICE audit. There are certain steps that the audit will take - the production of existing I-9 forms, remediating errors, if possible the assertion of legal arguments on why any alleged errors are not I-9 violations, negotiating with ICE on a reduction of the proposed penalty, and litigation before OCAHO if the negotiations are unsuccessful. 
Why should you attend this webinar?
In the new Trump administration, ICE is cracking down on undocumented workers. One way to do this is to conduct more I-9 inspections by ICE and detain undocumented workers for possible deportation. Second, the penalty for I-9 violations and employment of undocumented workers has recently greatly increased; thus, the penalties for these violations are going to be much higher. Currently, it is not uncommon for employers to receive penalties of over $100,000. Thus, there is plenty to fear about ICE inspections in a Trump administration.

Understanding Design Controls

Compliance Key INC  -  Medical Device Training Overview Design Controls are the processes used to design, develop, and manage medical devices that you manufacture. They are mandated by federal regulation, however, the regulations concerning design controls are vague in terms of the specific process steps required and the approaches that should be taken to achieve compliance should be developed. Knowing how the FDA both views and examines design controls is crucial to achieving compliance throughout the life of the medical devices you manufacture and is one of the most valuable compliance subject areas to explore. Noncompliance in design controls, which are consistently uncovered by the FDA during inspections and examinations, are concerned with the design control process that has been designed and applied and the documentation required to support each design control step. The specific sections of the regulations that apply to design controls include CFR 21 Part 820 Qua...

HR Auditing: Critical Issues in 2019

Compliance Key INC  - HR Webinar in United States Overview Numerous external forces and factors have an impact on the purpose, scope, and demand for HR audits. First, in the global economy, human capital has become for many organizations the single most important determinant of competitiveness, productivity, sustainability, and profitability. Increasingly, the organization's human capital is the source of innovation and a driver of business success. Second, a confluence of economic, political, and social factors, including stockholder, plaintiffs, and third party initiatives, have resulted in increased statutory and regulatory requirements, the call for greater transparency, and increased internal and external audit activity. Third, governmental agencies have become more active - some would argue more aggressive - and have committed increasing resources to conducting assessments of employment policies and practices. Importantly, the EEOC, the OFCCP, U.S. ...
