H-1B LCA Posting Notice: Small Compliance Step, Big Risk

Before an H-1B petition is filed, the employer usually must complete Labor Condition Application notice requirements. This is not just paperwork. The notice connects the wage, occupation, worksite, and period of employment to the employer's H-1B compliance obligations.

When there is no bargaining representative, notice is commonly handled by physical posting at the worksite or by electronic notice to affected workers. Employers should preserve what was posted, where it was posted, the dates, screenshots if electronic, and proof that the required period was completed.

Problems often arise when a worker moves to a new worksite, when remote work is not described clearly, or when HR cannot locate the public access file. These gaps can create risk in an audit or future petition.
