One of the most pressing issues facing seasonal businesses continues to be labor – specifically how to secure reliable employees to fill both seasonal and permanent needs in an era of unprecedented need. In this webinar series, we will navigate through the complex maze of the H-2A, H-2B and Permanent Labor Certification program regulations to provide an overview of visa requirements, procedures, compliance and employer obligations under these programs. We will also discuss best practices in the hiring and onboarding of employees in compliance with I-9 requirements.
