Support: Affirmative action planning is an ongoing process. What you do throughout the year matters. We are here to support you every step of the way. Are you tracking applicants correctly? Do your hiring practices result in adverse impact? Where and how are you recruiting? What training do you provide?

How do you respond to a Notice of Compliance Review from the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs? We are here to answer all these questions and work through these issues with you.

New Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities Regulations: New regulations went into effect March 24, 2014. These include unprecedented requirements to collect, analyze and evaluate data

for protected veterans and individuals with disabilities. We are here to educate you to ensure compliance with everything from access to your application process to plan preparation.

2015 H-1B Sponsorship Briefing Session

The first of three in our Employment-Based Immigration Briefing Series.

Sign up for all three and save 20%.

January 15 • MSEC Denver Office Registration 8:30 • Program 9:00-10:30

Do you need an H-1B professional worker? Here are some reasons you might:

• Your boss wants that highly-qualified foreign worker who is outside the U.S.

• The university that is your best source for new employees has a foreign national who is about to graduate and is a very attractive candidate.

• Your CEO recruited this star new employee and s/he is doing great, but now needs H-1B sponsorship.

The H-1B process is complex and can be frustrating and mysterious. Not only that, it is also:

• Expensive. Filing fees alone are $2,325 unless your company can claim a fee exemption and legal fees come on top of that.

• Uncertain. Last year, about 75% of employees with Master’s Cap eligibility were successful but less than 50% in the regular cap were.

• Time Sensitive. In cap years, applications can only be filed in the first 5 business days of the filing season, starting April 1.

All this, and a light breakfast, for just $49! Call 800.884.1328 to register.
