Worksite Enforcement/Employment Verification

In an era of heightened enforcement, it is more important than ever to have a compliant onboarding and employment verification program in place. These requirements apply to any business, of any size, and in any industry. The process is complicated, the time requirements for implementation are strict, and the consequences of getting the paperwork wrong are expensive. There are multiple government agencies involved in Worksite Enforcement and it is important to understand how a program or a company’s actions will be viewed by each of them. If your company requires assistance in establishing a compliant employment verification program, TS can advise your HR department on best practices. This includes a review of the onboarding process, candidate experience, Form I-9 completion, E-verify and if necessary, an I-9 audit, E-Verify desk review or IER investigation.

Corporate Compliance

If you have employees, your business may be subject to an investigation from the Department of Labor to ensure you are paying all of your workers correctly and in compliance with any immigration paperwork filed on their behalf. That includes investigations of H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 employees to ensure that workers are receiving the wages and working under the terms of employment as specified on the Labor Condition Application (LCA) that accompanies certain petitions when filed with USCIS or DOS. If that happens, be prepared for a long paper chase as investigators audit your records. At TS we can review your LCA records to ensure compliance with the H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 programs proactively. If your company has been notified of a DOL investigation, TS can serve as legal counsel to ensure you receive proper representation.

Export Control

The employment of foreign nationals may trigger Department of Commerce export licensing requirements for your foreign national employees. TS offers the ability to analyze your company’s business, products, services, and employment offerings to determine whether your company is subject to these export licensing requirements. In addition, if an employer is already employing someone subject to export control regulations and has not obtained a license, TS can assist in the process of the company becoming compliant.
