WorkBright
indemnification policy
Employers deserve complete confidence in their I-9 compliance. WorkBright+ backs every I-9 processed through our full-service management with an indemnification policy. Here’s what that coverage includes.
The true cost of I-9 errors
I-9 mistakes are expensive. Fines range from $288 to $2,861 per form, which can quickly scale to a six-figure price tag. That's why WorkBright+ includes indemnification. We protect your organization from the financial impact of I-9 processing errors.
We take on the risk
Every case managed by WorkBright+ is backed by indemnification. That means:
- Payment of eligible fines resulting from I-9 processing errors managed through WorkBright+, including technology- and human-related errors.
- Expert audit support and representation from an Attorney of Record with specialized I-9 expertise.
- Coverage for select legal costs, including fees for the retained Attorney of Record and associated record retention costs.
What is not covered?
It's also important to understand the exclusions of our indemnification policy. The following items are not covered:
- Migrated historical I-9s that were not originally completed through WorkBright.
- Escalated cases requiring employer review when, in rare instances, WorkBright+ cannot resolve them within the required timeframe.
- Employment decisions always remain the responsibility of the employer.

Illustrative estimates. Assumes ~50% of manually completed I-9s carry at least one error — a conservative figure; published analyses of paper I-9s range from roughly 50% to 76%. Federal I-9 paperwork penalties currently run roughly $288–$2,861 per violation; in-house time assumes about 26 minutes per form including corrections and reverification.
