The Basics Of Hiring Foreign Workers
When you hire a foreign worker, like a J1 student, make you sure that you know how to get the most of it. First of all, remember that you J1 workers are exempt from paying taxes, as Social Securisty and Meidcare. This little bit of onformation could save a lot espcesially if you have a seasonal bisiness. Another thing to know is that sometimes the foreign workers can not obtain Social Security immediately upon their arrival. Usually they apply and then have to wait for as long as three months. That is an extreme case. On aregular basis, foreign workers get their Social Security number within two weeks. Nevertheless, they can work without that number. Normally a J1 student would have a receipt confirming that he or she have already applied for a SSN. As the aim of the exchange program is to promote cultural diversity and expand knowledge of both sides, learn and let them learn about customs and traditions.
