Instruções do empregador
Applicants should thoroughly familiarize themselves with the job specifications and the terms and conditions of employment before contacting the employer or seeking a referral. Only workers meeting all the qualifications for employment, who are able, willing, and qualified to perform the work, with or without reasonable accommodations, who are eligible for employment in the United States, and who are available at the time and place needed should be referred to the employer. All referrals from state workforce agencies must be sent to the employer by email and must include the referral contact name, phone number, and email address if an email is available. Only the employer has hiring authority for these positions.
Contact hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., ("Regular Business Hours"), except on federal holidays. Collect telephone calls will not be accepted directly from job applicants and persons inquiring about employment. The employer will interview applicants by phone and in-person by appointment and job offers will be extended to qualified, eligible applicants. Telephone or in-person interviews will be at no cost to workers. Applicants, State Workforce Agency personnel, walk-ins, gate hires, etc. may call for an interview during regular business hours. If a job service office will be referring 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.
Documentation of identity and employment authorization (original documents only) sufficient to complete an I-9 Form, as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act, must be in the possession of the worker at the time the worker reports for work and will be examined by the employer as a condition for completing the hiring process. Walk-in applicants whose pre-employment paperwork was completed at the time of hire must have a valid identity document when they report to work. No worker will be considered to have completed the hiring process, nor be permitted to start work, and/or occupy employer-provided housing, without completing an I-9 Form and presenting required documentation of identity and employment eligibility within the legally required time frames. Although the job holding office is not required to verify employment authorization documentation, the employer requests that the Employment Service staff apprise applicants that they will be required to provide documentary proof of work authorization to the employer.
