Recruit and document carefully
Follow DOL instructions for recruitment and consideration of U.S. applicants. Keep the job terms, contacts, decisions, and supporting records together. The case team should explain what to record and the deadlines that apply to your filing.
Review pay, hours, and worker costs
Pay the required wage and comply with applicable job terms and wage laws. Review the job-hours guarantee, transportation and subsistence rules, visa-cost reimbursements, and prohibited fees. Timing, contract length, and circumstances can matter, so a general article is not a payroll calculation.
Keep changes and notices visible
Maintain payroll, hours, recruitment records, receipts, and the certified job terms. Review proposed duty or worksite changes before making them. If a worker does not arrive or leaves early, promptly check the applicable notice requirements. Legal disputes and agency enforcement matters need qualified counsel.
