Two-Part Webinar Series: I-9 and E-Verify Compliance—Critical Updates, Heightened Enforcement, and Practical Guidance for Construction Employers
Tuesday, July 14, 2026 | 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm (EDT)
Tuesday, July 21, 2026 | 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm (EDT)
Recent federal immigration enforcement changes have significantly increased compliance risks for construction employers. In March 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revised its Form I-9 inspection guidance, reclassifying many errors that were previously treated as technical into substantive violations. In many cases, employers no longer have an opportunity to correct these errors during an ICE I-9 audit. For contractors and subcontractors operating in high-turnover, multi-site environments, these changes materially increase exposure to audits, fines, and project disruption.
This two-part webinar series provides practical, construction-focused guidance to help employers understand the new enforcement landscape and strengthen their I-9 and E-Verify compliance practices. This series is designed for HR practitioners and HR generalists, payroll and onboarding staff, legal counsel, risk managers, executives, operations leaders, and others responsible for hiring, employment eligibility verification, workforce compliance, or responding to government inspections. The content is relevant for small, mid-size, and large non-residential contractors and subcontractors.
Webinar One: I-9 Compliance Essentials. What Changed and Why It Matters
Tuesday, July 14, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (EDT)
This session explains ICE’s revised Form I-9 inspection standards and what construction employers must do differently now. Topics include an overview of the 2026 enforcement changes, errors now treated as substantive violations, reduced or eliminated opportunities to correct I-9 errors during audits, common I-9 mistakes in construction hiring and onboarding, rehires and reverifications, managing project-based workforces, and recordkeeping and internal audit best practices.
Webinar Two: E-Verify, Subcontractor Risk, and Enforcement Readiness
Tuesday, July 21, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (EDT)
Part Two focuses on proper E-Verify use and how I-9 changes can increase enforcement risk across job sites and supply chains. Topics include E-Verify requirements and enforcement expectations, additional states with mandatory E-Verify for the construction industry, handling tentative non-confirmations (TNCs)/mismatches, aligning E-Verify practices with updated I-9 standards, managing subcontractor compliance and downstream liability, responding to Notices of Inspection, and practical steps to reduce financial and operational exposure.
