Effective 1/7/10, two new options are available on the H-2B Job Order Form. Either posting option meets the State of New Jersey’s requirement for positive recruitment of U.S. workers and satisfies the U.S. DOL’s H-2B job order posting requirements.

Option 30:

No more than 120 days before the employer’s date of need, staff will post a 30-day New Jersey State job order. 

OR

Option 10/20:

No more than 120 days before the employer’s date of need, staff will post a 10-day New Jersey State job order.

By choosing Option 10/20, the employer agrees to an initial 10-day job order and a second 20-day job order that will open 45 days before the date of need for a minimum of 20% of the originally requested positions.  We will post the 20-day job order for the entire number of positions remaining if the original job order met 80% or more of the positions needed. 

After the H-2B job order request is received and entered into New Jersey's Job Bank by LWD staff, a confirmation will be faxed to the employer. The faxed confirmation will include a copy of the job order, opening and closing dates, and the job order number. A fax number must be provided to receive a confirmation. 

Please refer to the U.S. Department of Labor for information on the H-2B filing process. Questions should be directed to the Chicago National Processing Center at 312-886-800.
