1. Hello! This is Donna Galatas. Welcome to the overview of our course, How to Complete, Audit & Correct Your I-9 Forms. By the end of this course, you will have the step by step actions to take and the ready to use resources to make sure your business is in HR compliance when it comes to your I-9 Forms. Δ
2. Remember, while your clients are relaxing in the bath or getting pampered on the massage table, YOU must make sure your team is legit! And that means making sure that you’re correctly verifying every new hire’s work authorization and auditing the records for your existing employees.Δ
3. Who should take this course? Δ This course is a MUST for Δ business owners, Δ managers, and Δ HR staff who need to KNOW they’re running the business LEGALLY, whether it’s a luxury day spa, a specialty spa, a hair/nail salon or any other business in the Spa Industry Δ But don’t worry, we break it all down into clear and easy step by step procedures so you don’t miss a beat. This course consists of Δ 11 step by step videos, Δ 11 downloadable handouts, including samples, templates and checklists to keep you on track, Δ 2 quizzes and Δ several exercises so you gain practical hands-on experience that directly impacts your business. You will be expected to actually audit your existing I-9 forms to see if they are all correctly filled out and if not, you’ll be making corrections so you never have to worry about passing an I-9 audit. Δ
4. There is a lot of information you need to be aware of when it comes to this area of compliance so in this course we’ll be covering: Δ How to comply with the US Immigration Reform & Control Act of 1986 Δ How to correctly verify a new hire’s work authorization using the I-9 form Δ What deadlines you need to meet Δ What the numerous penalties are for violations –and believe me when I say there are a LOT of penalties– and Δ How to correct any errors made on the I-9 form Δ Piece of cake! Δ
5. Why is I-9 Compliance so Important you ask?? What if no one ever audits my records? Well, what if they do? Δ Two reasons--- Δ It’s the law and we’ll go into detail so you understand exactly which law affects you. Δ For your protection. Are you prepared to pay thousands of dollars in penalties and fines because you forgot to tick a few boxes? I seriously doubt it. But that is exactly what happens and it’s happening more and more as the government conducts more audits and spends more money on those efforts. The I-9 is an extremely important document for employers and you really can’t afford to mess it up. Δ
6. So let’s kick some I-9 butt so you can get into the “zen zone” and be stress free when it comes to hiring employees who are authorized to work in the US. Δ
7. Thank you for listening—and we hope you’ll be joining us! We’re excited to work with you!
