In 2025, I-9 paperwork fines range from $281 – $2,789 per form, while knowingly employing unauthorized workers can cost up to $5,579 per person — even more for repeat offenses. Meanwhile, 20% of payroll runs contain errors, averaging $291 to fix each. For businesses managing high-volume, multi-jurisdictional hires and strict client SLAs, these risks multiply. Audit exposure, rework, and inconsistent employee experiences quietly erode margins and trust. In this webinar, sponsored by Symmetry, industry experts will show how to streamline Form I-9 verification and tax withholding workflows to turn compliance vulnerabilities into operational strength. Tune in for actionable insights from Taralee Brady, Raj Nijjer and Tim Szuhaj, on how to: 🔹 Ensure a seamless, compliant onboarding experience — for every hire, anywhere. 🔹Enable 8x faster I-9 verification and 95% E-Verify auto close. 🔹Reduce manual errors across I-9 and all federal, state, and local tax forms. 🔹Handle complex multi-state and cross-border tax rules. 🔹Keep all withholding forms current with changing tax laws.
