The
Department of Homeland Security along with the Department of Labor, has
released a rule to modernize the H-2B filing process. Beginning Dec. 16, the
new rule no longer requires employers to run a print ad in a newspaper for
temporary or seasonal workers.
Along
with the rule, DOL will take over the recruiting efforts by posting the job ads
on the Seasonaljobs.dol.gov website.
The Federal
Register sates: This final rule modernizes and improves the labor market
test that DOL uses to assess whether qualified U.S. workers are available by:
Rescinding the requirement that an employer advertise its job opportunity in a
print newspaper of general circulation in the area of intended employment, and
expanding and enhancing DOL's electronic job registry to disseminate available
job opportunities to the widest audience possible.
