If appropriate, the SWA should furnish translator services.

If a Job Service Office refers several applicants at the same time, it is requested that the employer be advised in advance so that sufficient time may be allowed to schedule interviews. Applicants will be interviewed in person or by telephone and job offers will be extended to qualified, eligible applicants. All employees must timely complete Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, and present documentation establishing identity and employment authorization as permitted by applicable federal law. The Employer will complete the Form I-9 verification process within the time required by law.
