Avoiding Form I-9 Penalties: Tips for Staying Compliant

It is important for employers to understand and comply with the complex requirements of Form I-9. Employers are likely to face severe financial and legal consequences for non-compliance. Hiring unauthorized employees can result in employers and their hiring managers facing criminal charges and severe penalties. This could include federal prison time of five years or more and substantial fines.

PAF Compliance Simplified for H-1B Employers

Hiring global talent through the H-1B program brings great opportunities, but it also comes with important compliance responsibilities. One of the most critical requirements is maintaining a Public Access File (PAF). The PAF ensures transparency in how H-1B workers are paid and treated, and mistakes in managing it can lead to costly fines, audits, or even loss of H-1B privileges.
