OSC would like to invite your participation in its first upcoming stakeholder input session, on Thursday, September 13, 2012, at 2:00 pm (Eastern). OSC will focus the discussion around guidance that it is currently drafting. The guidance—Best Practices for Employers Conducting Self-Audits of I-9 Forms—is meant to provide employers with practical tips for avoiding discrimination during the course of an internal audit of employment eligibility verification. The session will last one hour and will aim to solicit public input on areas of confusion or concern for employers engaged in self-audits, and concerns that employees or employee groups have when employers conduct audits. OSC enforces the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act. It may be a violation of the anti-discrimination provision to ask employees for more or different employment eligibility verification documents, or to reject reasonably genuine looking documents presented, if the intent is to discriminate based on national origin or citizenship status.
