What's Old is New Again:

Form I-9 Flex Rule Expires 7-31-23

On May 10th, the US CIS announced that the Flexibility Rule for remotely completing I-9 Forms will expire on July 31st. By August 3oth, employers must (1) update via visual inspection all Form I-9's they viewed remotely under the Flexibility Rule; and (2) continue visual inspection moving forward.

For employers that had remote employees prior to the declaration of COVID-19 as a public health emergency (PHE), this is nothing new. It is just back to business as usual.

But for employers who never had remote employees until the COVID-19 PHE, many are feeling stressed and scrambling to figure out how this is done.

If you are a covered federal contractor required to maintain affirmative action plans, be sure to update your voluntary self-identification form for disability.

The OFCCP has published an updated form that covered contractors must implement by July 25th.

Making Lemonade From Lemons

If you joined FiveL Company's 17th Annual Employment Law Update, you missed the excitement! Three plus hours into the program we crashed due to a cable outage in the local area and were unable to complete the day.

The good news is, if you missed the event, you can join us "live" for Part II on Friday, June 16th, from Noon to 3:30 p.m. ET. When you register, you will get access to the recording of Part I and can still get all 6.5 credits, pre-approved by SHRM and HRCI.

Can't make it June 16th? No worries! We've got you covered. Both parts will be recorded so you can attend the entire program on-demand and still qualify for the 6.5 credits.
