Government officials have the authority to review or audit an employer’s records. If an employer makes errors in I-9 documentation or employs individuals whom the employer knows are not authorized to work in the United States, the employer may face penalties under the law. Civil fines may range from $275 to approximately $22,000, depending on the number of offenses, if a business knowingly violates I-9 laws. In an effort to comply with the law, an employer may wish to conduct trainings on verification procedures and policies.
