In April 2006, Immigration and Custom Enforcement (“ICE”) announced a new, aggressive worksite enforcement strategy. While comprehensive immigration reform legislation has stalled, ICE has increased the number of raids and the number of employers who have been charged with allegedly breaking the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA).
On October 24, at 7am at the Knox Community Center, Michael Palmer of Barnes and Thornburg LLP will present a workshop on practical advice for employers on immigration compliance. During the workshop, Mr. Palmer will provide participants with a detailed, six-step plan for ensuring they comply with immigration laws and for limiting their exposure to liability.
Michael P. Palmer is a partner with Barnes and Thornburg, LLP and focuses his practice on all aspects of labor and employment law. Mr. Palmer graduated, with honors, from Loyola University-Chicago School of Law in 1997 and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology and government from the University of Notre Dame in 1994.
The Starke County Center for Small Business, the Starke County Chamber of Commerce, the Starke County Development Foundation and the Starke County Human Resources Group have all come together to offer this workshop to area employers and chamber members. The workshop will be held at the Knox Community Center from 7am until 9am on October 24. The cost for the workshop is $10 and includes breakfast. For more information or to register, call Terri Noonan at 574-772-8001.
