the most important thing for employers
00:06
to know about immigration compliance is
00:09
documentation and documentation the law
00:12
provides that all companies must
00:16
determine whether an employee is legally
00:20
allowed to work in the United States and
00:22
this must take place in the first three
00:25
days of a person’s employments this is
00:28
true whether the employer is a
00:30
multibillion-dollar multinational or a
00:33
mom-and-pop convenience store down the
00:37
street
00:37
all US employers are mandated to
00:40
determine that their employees can
00:42
legally work in the United States we
00:45
help employers all over the country make
00:48
sure that they are properly implementing
00:50
this legal requirement now it’s no
00:53
surprise to anybody that under the Trump
00:56
administration enforcement of the
01:00
compliance laws is is widely taking
01:04
place and it’s more important than ever
01:06
that employers understand if their
01:09
employees truly do have legal
01:11
authorization to work in the United
01:14
States
01:15
we’re helping companies from restaurants
01:18
to fish processing plants to hotels and
01:22
car dealerships determine are all of
01:26
their employees legally authorized to
01:28
work and is the company in compliance
01:31
with the federal regulations I think
01:35
it’s critical that all employers
01:38
voluntarily take a look at their
01:41
employees because for the sake of the
01:44
company and for the sake of the foreign
01:46
nationals these issues need to be
01:48
discussed with counsel who understand
01:51
the laws and understand the
01:52
opportunities and the possibilities
01:54
where foreign nationals who might be
01:57
undocumented might be able to find a way
02:00
to work legally in the United States
