📣 Attention Employers! Stay Informed about H-2A Requirements and Rates!

👉 We have important news regarding meals and travel-related subsistence expenses for H-2A and H-2B workers. Take a look at these key points to ensure compliance and fair treatment:

Allowable Meal Charge: When offering meals, state the charge (if any) to workers. Until a new amount is published, the maximum allowable meal charge is $15.46 per day. Let’s keep our workers nourished and supported!

Daily Subsistence Amounts for Travel: Specify the minimum and maximum dollar amounts workers will receive for subsistence expenses while traveling. The minimum is $15.46 per day, and with documentation, the maximum can be up to $59.00 per day. Let’s make their journeys comfortable!

Lodging and Transportation: Provide or pay reasonable costs for lodging and transportation. Remember, the amount should be no less than the most economical and reasonable costs. Our workers deserve safe and convenient arrangements!

Compliance is Key: Ensure your job offers accurately state the charges and reimbursement amounts. To prevent issues, it is recommended that payments for reimbursement appear on the first paychecks or made as soon as possible. By adhering to the regulations, we demonstrate our commitment to fair treatment and create positive work experiences for all. Together, let’s maintain compliance and support our workers!
