“There is a lack of information and some actual misinformation regarding current immigration policies to deal with today,” says immigration attorney Jacob Monty, a partner with Texas law firm Monty & Ramirez, LLP.
Monty serves on both the James Beard Foundation and the Texas Restaurant Association boards of trustees and advised the George W. Bush administration on immigration reform.
“When it comes to targeted arrests, the hysteria is much worse than the reality," says Monty. "Violators have typically been notified to deport but have ignored the order and are usually picked up at their homes as to not disrupt employers and other public places.”
In this episode, Monty explains what restaurant operators should do when faced with notice of intention to audit (NOI), as well as the steps for accepting and filing employees I-9’s.
He also explains how to prevent I-9 audits, the self-auditing process and correcting errors, and avoiding fraudulent I-9 requests and other scams.
As a restaurant operator, proper I-9 compliance means one less thing to keep you awake at night. Tune in for useful guidance to clarify the process.
