Virtual Webinar
Business owners and HR teams who attend will know exactly what to do and what not to do when an audit notice arrives.
What Is This Webinar?
Department of Labour (DOL) and I-9 audits are increasing nationwide. Companies that hire foreign workers, use staffing agencies, or source labour from outside the US are among the most frequently targeted — and most don’t know what to do when a notice arrives.
This webinar gives business owners, HR professionals, and in-house counsel a clear, practical roadmap: what triggers an audit, what auditors look for, what your rights are, and the exact steps to take from the moment you receive notice.
Whether you’ve already received a notice or just want to be prepared, you’ll leave with real tools you can use immediately.
Who Should Attend?
Business owners, HR managers, in-house counsel, and any company that sources labour from outside — including staffing agencies, contractors, or foreign workers.
What Will We Cover?
Audit triggers, I-9 compliance pitfalls, your legal rights during an investigation, and how to respond without making things worse.
What Will You Learn?
A clear action plan, knowledge of common mistakes that lead to fines, and direct access to Kodem Law’s compliance attorneys during live Q&A.
