With federal immigration enforcement making headlines and workplace audits on the rise, Montgomery County employers have questions — and the Montgomery County Commerce Department is stepping up with answers.
On Tuesday, June 2, the Montgomery County Commerce Department, in partnership with the Office of Immigrant Affairs, is hosting a complimentary two-hour virtual webinar designed to give local business owners and HR professionals the practical tools they need to stay compliant, avoid costly mistakes, and understand exactly what the law requires of them.
What the Session Covers
This isn’t a surface-level overview. Attendees will walk away with a working understanding of some of today’s most pressing employer compliance issues, including:
- I-9 compliance requirements.
- Common employer pitfalls and how to avoid them.
- Employer legal responsibilities under federal immigration law.
- Civil and criminal consequences of non-compliance.
- Current enforcement trends impacting businesses right now.
