In this episode of The Inside Track, hosts Grace Shie and Maximillian Del Rey explore the U.S. Department of Labor's new H-1B enforcement initiative, Project Firewall, and its implications for employers. They break down the DOL's role in the H-1B process, focusing on wage compliance, worksite accuracy, and the importance of properly managing Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) and public access files. The conversation highlights the risks of non-compliance—including penalties and debarment—and provides practical guidance on the top five areas where employers can proactively strengthen their compliance programs. Listeners will come away with clear, actionable steps to prepare for DOL enforcement activity and ensure their H-1B practices meet the latest enforcement standards.
