    Best Practices for Form I-9 Compliance

    $299.00

    All employers must properly and timely complete a Form I-9 for every new employee hired in the United States. But, that’s not as easy as it sound!  And employers can make costly mistakes without realizing it.  To avoid liability, employees who process Form I-9s should be trained on what to do, and how to do it.  We can help!

    In this session, we discuss how to properly complete Form I-9s, how to handle the I-9 process for remote employees, and the best practices for correcting Form-I-9 errors.  We also explain the penalties for non-compliance and how to conduct an internal audit before the government comes knocking at your door.

    $50.00

    Public and private sector employers throughout California have relied on us for over 20 years to deliver interactive and impactful EEO compliance training. We regularly update our materials to reflect current events and legal developments, and attendees rave about our delivery and content.

    • The legal definitions of unlawful harassment, discrimination and retaliation
    • The definition of “bullying” and management’s responsibility for preventing it
    • How to encourage “upstanders” in supporting co-workers
    • The differences between EEO laws and EEO policies
    • The protections provided by employer policies and the law protects employees, including practical examples of harassment based on gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation
    • How “out-of-work” conduct (including social media activities) may result in EEO liability
    • The internal complaint process, including the duty to report, investigate and respond, and how to encourage employees to respect the process

    This session is perfect for employers who want to provide staff with a safe place to learn about this important topic.
