What happens when Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) serves your company with an I-9 Notice of Inspection, and what should employers do in those critical first hours?

In the third episode of our Worksite Compliance series, host Nick Lowrey is joined by John Connolly, Senior Managing Director at Guidepost Solutions and former Deputy Executive Associate Director of HSI. Drawing on decades of enforcement experience, John provides an insider’s perspective on how I-9 audits are initiated, the common triggers behind Notices of Inspection, and what employers can expect throughout the inspection process.

Nick and John discuss practical steps employers can take to reduce risk, including conducting proactive audits, establishing response protocols, training key personnel, and maintaining organized records.
