Frequently Asked Questions
What is an I-9 audit and how do we prepare?
An I-9 audit reviews whether your work authorization records are complete and correct. We help you self-audit, fix issues, and build a process so you stay ready for an official review.
What is a Public Access File?
It is a file employers must keep for H-1B and similar visas, documenting wage and Labor Condition Application details. We help you build and maintain it correctly.
Does remote work change our obligations?
It can. A move to a new worksite or remote location may require updated filings or postings. We help you set policies that keep your filings accurate as people move.
Can you train our HR team on compliance?
Yes. We provide practical training so your internal team knows what to do and when, turning compliance into a routine your organization can own.
What happens if we find a past mistake?
Most issues can be addressed if you act early. We help you understand the risk, correct what you can, and put a process in place to prevent it going forward.
