The U.S. Poultry & Egg Assn. (USPOULTRY) recently updated its Employment Eligibility Verification & I-9 Training Program. The program was revised to reflect recent changes in the I-9 form and is intended for human resources personnel who are responsible for hiring new employees.

The program teaches those responsible for hiring new employees the basic provisions of U.S. immigration laws, which require employers to make a good-faith effort to confirm that newly hired employees are authorized to work in the U.S., as well as explains each section of the required I-9 form.

The program is presented in a narrated slide video and a traditional PDF. The original program was developed in conjunction with the Joint Poultry Industry Human Resources Council, which is comprised of members from USPOULTRY, the National Chicken Council and the National Turkey Federation.

The program is available free of charge to USPOULTRY members. Non-members may order the program online at http://www.uspoultry.org/training.
