ICE announces another extension to review Form I-9
documents remotely, extending the deadline to August 19
  • U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced on 7/18/2020 an extension of the flexibilities in rules related to Form I-9 compliance that was granted earlier this year. Due to the continued precautions related to COVID-19, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has decided to once again extend this policy for an additional 30 days. The expiration date for these accommodations is now August 19, 2020

  • ICE also announced that after July 19 no additional extensions will be granted to employers who were served notices of inspection (NOIs) by ICE during the month of March 2020

Department of Labor Issues
New FMLA Forms
In a break from COVID-19 issues, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) on July 17, 2020, issued new model notices and forms for employers use when administering employee leave under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

These forms are optional and are not specifically required by the FMLA. (Employers and employees may use any format that provides the necessary information under FMLA.)

The DOL revised the forms to make them easier for employers, employees, leave administrators and healthcare providers to understand and convey and collect information necessary for an employee’s leave under the FMLA. They may be worth a look.
