LaborQuest USA frees you of the day-to-day headaches and uncertainties of a very tedious process. We simply eliminate the risks to ensure you get the seasonal workers needed. “NON-AGRICULTURAL” - H2B
EMPLOYER REQUIREMENTS Payroll Records: Two years of employer’s
payroll records may be necessary to demonstrate your peak/seasonal need. Hourly Wage: The DOL sets the prevailing wage rate based on the job to be performed. The employer is responsible for all regular local, state and federal payroll taxes, including paying Social Security and unemployment (FICA, FUTA and SUTA). The employer is responsible for assisting guest workers in obtaining Social Security cards upon their arrival. Insurance: Employer must provide
workers’ compensation insurance for all guest workers. Housing: Guest workers pay for all their housing costs and related expenses. While employers are under no legal obligation to provide housing, it is preferred that arrangements are made for affordable and proper housing prior to engaging in the program. We can help. Transportation: Guest workers pay for their round trip transportation from their homes abroad to the place of employment. It is also the worker’s responsibility for daily transportation. If the travel distance is to great and/or public transportation is not available, then daily transportation will need to be arranged prior to engaging in the program. This also needs to be affordable and we can help.
Social Security: When workers arrive employers are required to take participants to
apply for social security cards. This is very simple, you can contact your
local SS Office for instructions. We can help. Work Supplies: Employer furnishes all tools/supplies necessary to perform the work at no cost to the guest workers.
Environment: Employer needs to unsure everyone in the workplace
will treat participants with respect and dignity. The H2B Process for guest workers takes approximately 4 months, from the
initial application to the arrival of the employee in the USA. Step 1: We discuss
your business and staffing needs to ensure the H2B Program will match your
needs. We will need to collect and review payroll records for the last 2
years that are required in the program. Step 2: We arrange your presentation of all paperwork and supporting documentation to file with the Department of Labor.
Step 3: Job advertisements are created and placed in local newspapers to ensure there are no suitable workers available. At the same time we start recruiting and screening international guest workers applications for you to review.
Step 4: Upon
receiving DOL approval, you decide which international guest workers to hire.
We send Employment Agreements to guest workers for their signatures. For a very small fee background and drug
screening can also be done.
Step 5: We submit H2B paperwork to the U.S. Government. Once approval has been received, we notify you and the employee.
Step 6: We arrange for employees to apply for the H2B Visa in their home country. After guest workers receive their visa, we arrange transportation to the USA, and to your location.
Step 7: Guest Workers arrive at local greyhound station and are your responsibility. On-going support is provided for both employers and guest workers. Please contact us to see
how you can benefit from an H2A
Program. |
