Have dirty little secrets around HR?
You are not alone
Even the HR Pros Have Some And We Confess
We’ll share one of our dirty little HR secrets…
Donna here! I know we all have our little secrets, but let me tell you one of mine which was the inspiration behind our flagship HR course—HR 101: Making Compliance Easy, and many other HR Courses.
Back in the day when I was an HR Manager for a multi-state business, I loved my job and thought I was King of the Hill in my little region. Until one day, when this very official looking letter was dropped on my desk.
It was from the INS, which is now the ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, agency. Opening the envelope with shaking hands, I found a Notice of Inspection letter, which means I was going to have the pleasure of an I-9 audit. Aw, Dang.
Now, if you have no idea what that is or even what an I-9 Form is, let’s hope you’re not involved in the hiring of employees or the maintenance of employee records. If you’re not, no sweat! You can stop reading now.
However, if you are in ANY way involved in the new hire process or recordkeeping for staff, I suggest you sit up straight and listen to me.
Hey, I was an HR MANAGER!
I knew my stuff.
But I was scared to death!
Did I really have all the up-to-date information about how to complete the I-9 Form and was I monitoring the forms that my staff or my other managers were handling? Ummm, not really sure…
So, yeah, I was sweating bullets because I knew the fines and penalties could be nasty. Just like the inspectors could be nasty. Well, some of them anyway. And it would be my luck that things would go wrong….right?!
I never thought an I-9 audit could happen to me. And neither do you, I bet.
Long story short—I was very lucky. We made it through with a few minor issues that were quickly corrected. But not every business can say that.
In fact, one of our clients conducted an internal I-9 audit using the process from our HR Courses and found the potential for over $340k in penalties. Say WHAT??!!
No worries! The client was able to make all the required corrections to bring the business into compliance and now the owner sleeps restfully at night because he knows he is READY in case he receives a Notice of Inspection letter.
And I-9 forms and audits are just one area of employment law that can wreak havoc for you if you’re not paying attention.
Don’t let your dirty little HR secrets stop you from rocking HR!
