WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - January 27, 2010) - The Society for Human Resources
Management (SHRM) and Immigration Solutions
Group, PLLC (ISG) have released their co-published book, "The HR
Immigration Pocket Reference™" to help human resource professionals
better understand immigration rules. Available online
(http://yy.vc/SHRM_ISG), the book will not only enable HR professionals to
save time and effort, but will also help companies save money by avoiding
penalties for noncompliance with government immigration regulations.
"The ['Pocket Reference'] will help HR professionals better understand and
navigate some of the more complex tasks they encounter, including
compliance with rules requiring verification of employees' work
authorization and recruiting international employees to the U.S.," noted
Michael T. Dougherty, former U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services Ombudsman at the Department of Homeland Security.
"This book understands the specific needs of the HR professional and will
serve as a valuable quick reference guide."
In addition to helping employers navigate laws to hire/retain the best and
brightest global workforce, the book also addresses two pressing HR issues:
temporary
work visas and permanent green cards for the
employment of foreign nationals. DHS's announcement regarding its intention
to spend massive resources auditing hiring records of U.S. business owners
to determine compliance with employment eligibility verification laws, and
the pool of global talent available due to increased international student
enrollment at U.S. universities, further necessitated the need for the
book's easily accessible guidance.
Peter Asaad, Managing Member of ISG and co-author, noted, "The
primary intention for this joint publication is to offer HR executives
current immigration information in a quick, usable format to help with
immigration compliance laws and easily navigate employment eligibility and
retention issues."
Christopher Anzalone, of SHRM's Book Publishing division, believes, "The
scope of the content, solutions-oriented approach and unique and inviting
format will make this timely book an indispensable resource for every HR
professional responsible for immigration law compliance."
