The amount of the daily subsistence payment shall be no less than the maximum meal charge under 20 CFR § 655.173(a), which is currently $16.78 per day up to $68 per day, until date of publication of an annual adjustment notice in the Federal Register.

These arrangements apply only to workers who are recruited from outside the area of intended employment who are not reasonably able to return to their residence each day.

Transportation from last place of employment . If the worker completes the period of employment covered by the job order (not counting any extensions), or if the worker is dismissed for any reason before the end of the period, and the worker has no immediate subsequent H-2B employment, the employer will provide or pay at the time of departure for the worker's reasonable costs of return transportation and daily subsistence from the place of employment to the place from which the worker, disregarding intervening employment, departed to work for the employer.

Employer-provided transportation . All employer-provided transportation will comply with all applicable federal, State and local laws and regulations, in accordance with 20 CFR § 655.20(j)(1)(iii). Employer-provided transportation will meet, at a minimum, the same vehicle safety standards, driver licensure requirements, and vehicle insurance as required under 49 CFR parts 390, 393, and 396. The use of employer-provided transportation is voluntary; no worker is required as a condition of employment to use transportation offered by the employer.

Visa fees . For an alien admitted to work for the employer under an H-2B temporary visa, the employer will reimburse the alien worker on the regularly scheduled payday at the end of the first workweek after the worker arrives at the place of employment to commence work for the employer, all visa, visa processing, border crossing, and other related fees (including those mandated by the U.S. government) incurred by the H-2B worker, but not for passport expenses or other charges primarily for the benefit of the worker, in compliance with 20 CFR § 655.20(j)(2)

OTHER REQUIRED ASSURANCES, CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT, AND CLARIFICATIONS:

REQUIRED ASSURANCES: The employer agrees to abide by the H-2B regulations at 20 CFR part 655, subpart A. The employer adopts and incorporates by reference all required assurances and obligations set out at 20 CFR §§ 655.18 and 655.20. To the extent there is any discrepancy between this job order, the required assurance and obligations, or the Immigration and Nationality Act (the "INA") and any applicable H-2B regulations, then the INA and the applicable H-2B regulations consistent with the INA shall always control.

The employer offers to U.S. workers no less than the same benefits, wages, and working conditions that the employer is offering, intends to offer, or will provide to H-2B workers. Employer will not impose on U.S. workers any restrictions or obligations that will not be imposed on the employer's H-2B workers.

ASSURANCE OF BONA FIDE JOB REQUIREMENTS. Each job qualification and requirement listed in this job order is bona fide and consistent with the normal and accepted qualifications and requirements imposed by non-H-2B employers in the same occupation and area of intended employment.

CONDITION OF EMGLOSMENT: All applicants must be qualified to perform all the work described and must be available for the entire anticipated period of employment. The job offered is temporary and full-time only for the stated anticipated period of employment and any approved extension thereof.

CONTRACT IMPOSSIBILITY: The employer may terminate the job order of any worker whose services are no longer required for reasons beyond the control of the employer due to fire, weather, or other Act of God or similar unforeseeable man-made catastrophic event that is wholly outside the employer's control that makes the fulfillment of the job order impossible. Whether such an event constitutes a contract impossibility will be determined by the Certifying Officer. In the event of such termination, the employer will fulfill a three-fourths guarantee for the time that has elapsed from the later of the start date or the first workday after the arrival of the worker at the place of employment to the time of its termination.

Likewise, all employees of the employer are prohibited from collecting any money or other thing of value from prospective employees or current employees in order for the payor to work for the employer. This employer has zero tolerance for prohibited payments. Employees should report to the employer immediately the name of any person seeking to collect a prohibited payment and the amount sought. Any employee found to have collected a prohibited payment will be required to reimburse the injured party immediately and will be terminated from employment.
