A Note To Employers - ICE Announces Audits
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) launched a bold audit initiative as a part of the agency’s stepped-up enforcement of employment and immigration laws. This is a shift in strategy for the Obama administration putting the spotlight on employers rather than employees. ICE issued Notices of Inspection to hundreds businesses nationwide to alert employers that ICE will be inspecting their hiring records. Two of these companies have already been fined due to improper documentation; American Apparel - $150,000 and Krispy Kreme - $40,000.
On average 80% of US companies are significantly out of compliance with an estimated 40% of their employees improperly documented.
