In this webinar, I will discuss the importance of being ready for a Notice of Inspection (NOI) - also referred to as audit by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), what happens when an ICE audit occurs, and an employer’s potential liability for I-9 errors discovered by ICE in the audit. The webinar will discuss the need for preventive maintenance – an employer performing an internal I-9 audit - which should discover many of the I-9 errors and correct them, if possible. We will discuss what happens if an employer is chosen for an ICE audit. There are certain steps that the audit will take –production of existing I-9 forms, after remediating as many errors as possible (though sometimes ICE will not accept remediation performed after ICE delivers the NOI), assertion of legal arguments on why any alleged errors are not I-9 violations, negotiating with ICE on a reduction of the proposed penalty, and litigation before OCAHO, if the negotiations are unsuccessful.

Human error is known to be the major cause of quality and production losses in many industries. Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be totally eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human error reduction starts at the design stage. Procedures play a vital role in human reliability. Nevertheless, it is really important to understand human behaviour and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the instructions weaknesses are, so procedures can be human engineered, improved and/or fixed. This webinar offers practical approaches to address good procedure writing practices to reduce the likelihood of procedures.

Overview: If you've ever had to work with a difficult person--bulldozer, time bomb, clam or whiner--and couldn't figure out how to help facilitate a change in their behavior, then this session is for you. It's important to recognize that behaviors are driven by intentions, and everyone thinks that their intentions are positive. If you understand intentions and if you listen closely to people, they will tell you by their very speech what their intention is at any given time. And, as long at their intentions are heard and valued, their behavior is more likely to be productive and less likely to escalate into something intolerable. But, when those positive intentions go unrecognized or unexpressed, you've got trouble. Knowing how to handle the person who's exercising bad behavior is a skill that will help alleviate stress and make you a more influential person.

Document, document, document. Every employment attorney preaches this word to their clients. Not all documentation, however, is the same.

Of course, we don't want to keep documentation around too long - particularly if it is bad documentation. How long does the law require you to keep documents?
