DOL Announces Procedural Change in Submitting Temporary Need Documentation

DOL announced that, effective immediately, an employer submitting an H-2B application may satisfy the regulatory requirements for demonstrating temporary need by disclosing such information on the ETA Form 9142B, “Application for Temporary Employment Certification,” without also submitting detailed supporting documentation with its initial application, particularly where the employer's temporary need has been demonstrated in earlier applications certified or the work is clearly tied to a temporary, seasonal cycle.
