TOTAL COMPLIANCE WITH IMMIGRATION LAWS
Each year we participate in a Department of Labor program
called H-2B which allows the legal employment of non-resident
aliens as seasonal labor. The paperwork and monitoring of H-2B
is strict and demanding, and we take pride in our ongoing
compliance.
Each of our non-resident workers must
posses an identification form obtained through the U.S.
Department of Justice called an I-9. Additionally, each
immigrant employee must have a Form I-94 from the U.S.
Immigration and Naturalization Service. Finally, all alien
workers must obtain valid social security cards, helping to
ensure the payment of federal income taxes while they are in
the U.S.
Above and beyond our H-2B laborers, many
of our crew foremen and field supervisors are lawful, permanent
residents who live here year-round with their
families.
Ideal Landscape Group has a
zero-tolerance policy regarding non-compliance with any labor
statute, most of all immigration policies and is proud of the
workforce we have assembled.
MORE ABOUT THE U.S. H-2B PROGRAM
The H-2B work visa was created to allow people to come to the
United States temporarily, mainly for non-agricultural jobs
where U.S. workers are in short supply. Up to 66,000 H-2B visas
are issued every year.
Workers may qualify for an
H-2B visa if they are coming to the United States to accept a
temporary or seasonal non-agricultural job from an U.S.
employer. With the correct background, skills, or natural
abilities needed by the employer, anyone many apply. H-2B visas
are aimed at skilled and unskilled workers. Note that H-2B are
not to be confused with H-1B visa, which is intended for
college-educated workers.
