Million Dollar Landscaper

Are your I-9 forms compliant, or are you at risk for massive fines? Immigration attorney Nataly Mualem joins the show to discuss the sharp increase in I-9 audits and ICE enforcement targeting landscaping businesses. With labor shortages and shifting government policies, it’s easy to get caught off guard by simple paperwork mistakes that can lead to six-figure fines. Nataly breaks down exactly what an I-9 form is, why every single employee (even U.S. citizens) needs one, and the most common errors that put businesses at risk. This episode is a must-listen for any landscaping owner who wants to protect their company. You’ll learn the step-by-step process for conducting a self-audit, how to properly correct mistakes you find, and why classifying workers as “independent contractors” isn’t the simple fix you might think it is.   Find Nataly Mualem: Website: https://www.mualemfirm.com/
