Employers must adhere to E-Verify regulations, if applicable, to verify the eligibility of new employees to work in the US.

Proper Wage & Hour Documentation

Understanding More About Employer Compliance

What happens during a Department of Labor audit?

During a DOL audit, government officials and auditors will:

  • Review wage and hour documentation, employment verification forms, and other records.
  • Assess your labor law compliance.

Having organized records and being audit-ready helps avoid fines and disruptions to your business.

Should I use E-Verify for all employees?

E-Verify is not necessary for all employees. However, it is mandatory for some federal contractors and employers from certain states. Kindly contact our lawyers to know if E-Verify pertains to your business. We can also help you with the enrollment and compliance process.

For how long should I retain the I-9 forms for employees?

Kindly retain the I-9 forms for either duration:

  • Three years after the employee’s hire date
  • One year after the completion of the employment

You can choose whichever is later. Proper 1-9 retention is critical to ensure compliance during audits and inspections.
