Revised I-9 requirements and forms for all employers.
Effective April 3, 2009, according to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), a new Form I-9 is required to be used by all U.S. employers. Federal law requires all employers to verify the identity and authorization for employment of each individual they hire in the United States. That process requires employers to complete the Form I-9, “Employment Eligibility Verification” and retain the form for inspection by certain government officials.
For the first time ever, the Richardson Chamber of Commerce is conducting a Job Fair! This initiative stems from the 2009 Richardson Economic Development Partnership (REDP) Strategic Plan which contains an emphasis on workforce development. In today’s down economy, the best plan of action to achieve this was to assist those individuals in transition from a previous career by hosting a job fair. In order to achieve this part of the 2009 REDP Strategic Plan, partners were then identified to assist in hosting the Richardson Job Fair. Texas Workforce Solutions and Richland College were deemed as natural allies due to their extensive background in workforce development and in hosting job fairs.
If it’s Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, don’t bother visiting any of the five Kitchen Kaboodle stores in Portland, Oregon. The locally-owned kitchenware stores are closed those days, part of a new strategy that their owners hope will allow them to chop expenses, cut prices and survive the ever-deepening recession.
“We’d rather not do it,” co-owner John Whisler said of the 43% reduction in store hours. “It’s radical, it’s wild. But what we need to do in this climate is give our customers what they want, and what our customers want is lower prices. The only way to do that is to cut payroll,” he said, “and there’s just really no way to cut payroll if you are open seven days a week.”
