HR Box Lunch Series for Immigration

Immigration Series:

• I-9 Compliance Issues and the New No-Match Regulations – September 25, 2007
• Visa Alphabet Soup – October 24, 2007

This fall, Foulston Siefkin will be hosting a series of 2 Lunchtime workshops for HR Professionals at our offices in the Waterfront addressing HR issues relating to Immigration. Illegal immigration, national security, and identity theft are very hot issues for our Federal Government, and they are taking notice of employers failing to follow the rules. There is also a strong demand for visas that allow for the employment of highly skilled specialty workers at a time when the government is reducing its quotas for these types of visas. As the "baby-boomers" start to retire, it will become increasingly difficult to find workers to fill those vacated positions. Given these developments, HR Professionals are being asked to craft business immigration strategies to assure their businesses retain or recruit the strategic talent needed to make their business successful.

This HR Box Lunch Series focusing on immigration will help the HR Professional learn the important legal issues that ALL employers and immigrants face when dealing with the government and the proper hiring of workers in the United States.

Who Should Attend?

This seminar is designed to benefit human resource professionals with responsibility in their organization for hiring and documenting employees.
