With our increasingly global workforce, it’s critical to have awareness of both the legal aspects of onboarding foreign hires and the cultural, 'human" aspects of a diverse global workplace. Managing a multi-national workforce requires careful management – from the initial hiring/screening process through relocation. Employers are mandated to review acceptable I-9 identity and employment eligibility documents for each employee and complete Form I-9.
While the Immigration Reform and Control Act ("IRCA") has been in place since 1986, many employers are still falling short on the requirement to verify the identity and work authorization of any individuals hired after Nov. 6, 1986. With the added documentation management challenge, employers have to keep up with the changing immigration landscape to ensure government compliance and developing their desired workforce.
