Columbus Ohio Commercial and Business Law Attorneys
At Harrison Alo, Attorneys at Law, no one realizes more than we do just how central immigration law has become to so many employers. Dramatizing these needs is a trend that has seen many foreign-born specialists enter our country and become a part of our economy, as well as the changes put in place by government agencies since the events of September 11.
In our immigration law practice, we advise employers to monitor those situations, stay as informed as possible, and keep on top of emerging trends.
The Importance of I-9 Compliance
Major employers, for whom business immigration is a vital tool for their companies, should strive to immediately and periodically re-examine their hiring and employee documentation practices to assure that they are in full compliance with a number of current rules.
A necessary and sometimes enlightening first step in initiating and cultivating that practice would be for employers to review personnel records. This customary task would ensure that all of an employer's workers would have an accurately completed I-9 form, as well as other employment authorization documents.
Avoiding Problems Later
Attention to detail now could avoid time-consuming, potentially expensive problems with government later. For instance, some illegally-positioned workers have attempted to steal and use confidential identification information belonging to someone else, such as Social Security cards, or use invalid documents to gain employment.
In other words, it is no longer considered okay for employers to subtly accept forms of authorization that in fact do not provide the ability to work. If the worker's authorization has expired, it can no longer be accepted.
The enterprising immigration attorneys of Harrison Alo will talk with you, the employer, honestly and realistically on sensitive topics like this. You will appreciate our candor and our creativity in finding legal means of solving your immigration problems.
