The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) invites you to attend a webinar about the overtime rules that took effect July 1, 2020, and the updated salary thresholds that took effect Jan. 1, 2022.

Even with the best internal practices regarding verifying employee work authorization documentation, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may still investigate a workplace.
These enforcement actions, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) audits and workplace raids, can disrupt operations, create civil and criminal liabilities for companies, owners, managers and employees, and significantly impact your workforce.
In this webinar, a Fisher Phillips attorney will review how employers can prepare for DHS/ICE raids and ensure compliance with immigration laws to minimize disruption to business operations, protect your business interests, and reduce potential penalties and liabilities.
Join Eryne Walvekar from Fisher Phillips at 10 a.m. on March 19 in this members-only webinar.
