Employers sponsoring H2B visas must adhere to several important regulations. They must demonstrate a temporary need for non-agricultural workers and prove that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the job. This involves obtaining a Temporary Labor Certification from the Department of Labor.
Employers must also comply with wage and working condition requirements, ensuring that H2B workers receive the same benefits and protections as U.S. workers. They must provide accurate job descriptions and terms of employment to both the Department of Labor and the H2B workers.
Finally, employers must track the employment status of H2B workers and report any changes, such as early termination or absconding, to the appropriate authorities.
