Workplace Resources

The Chatham Chamber is aware of recent immigration enforcement activity affecting members of our local business community. In keeping with our commitment to provide clear information and serve as a reliable and neutral, non-partisan resource for local employers, we are distributing the following guidance about workplace rights and employer responsibilities related to immigration enforcement.

For many organizations, interactions with federal law enforcement are rare and often unexpected. Being prepared, understanding what is required, what is optional, and what your employees are entitled to can help minimize disruption, reduce risk, and support a safe work environment.

These resource guides below offer practical, legally grounded information that may be helpful as you review or update your internal policies:

For Health Care Providers

For Early Childhood Programs

At the Chatham Chamber, our commitment is to equip local employers with reliable information and trusted partnerships to help you navigate situations affecting your workforce and workplace operations.

If you have questions, need help connecting with local subject-matter experts, or would like to discuss best practices for workplace preparedness, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
