H-2B Visa Info Session (In-Person Registration)
2025-10-22 15:00 - 17:00 | Cape Cod Canal Chamber of Commerce, 223 Main Street, Buzzards Bay, United States
Join Tocci & Lee and Antioch Associates for our annual H-2B Visa Info Session on how to access the H-2B Visa process for temporary seasonal employees.

The H-2B visa program is part of the United States Citizen and Immigration Service (USCIS) otherwise known as the Department of Homeland Security. In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), employers who can prove a temporary, seasonal or periodic recurring need for full-time workers in particular job titles that cannot be filled with U.S. workers are certified to bring in Temporary Foreign Workers to fill those positions for a specific period of up to 9 full months. The processing and requirements are significantly different from J-1 visa workers who are students allowed to work on a temporary basis if their stay in the USA is tied to cultural exchange. To be certified, employers are required to provide payroll and tax documentation showing that their need for seasonal labor for a specific job title is periodic or traditionally tied to a season of the year by an event or pattern of a recurring nature. Seasonal need varies from one state or geographic area to another. Join us and get your questions answered.

2026 Wage and Hour Compliance Seminar

WAGE AND HOUR AND SEASONAL IMMIGRATION COMPLIANCEFOR CAPE COD BUSINESSES – HYBRID EVENT
HEAR FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR REGARDING ENFORCEMENT AND BRING YOUR QUESTIONS!

There have been several recent dramatic changes in immigration and employment-related laws, standards and practices affecting how hospitality industry businesses and seasonal businesses in Massachusetts engage and pay employees. The United States Department of Labor and the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General continue to target the industry for compliance audits and have emphasized the use of stiffer penalties (such as multiple damages and civil monetary penalties) when enforcing wage and hour laws. Immigration compliance, including the engagement of seasonal workers, continues to evolve.
On Tuesday, May 5, 2026 the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce will sponsor an important and informative event designed to provide our membership with all of the tools necessary to comply with seasonal immigration and wage and hour laws. The event will be a hybrid event available via Teams or in person commencing at 9:00 a.m. The event will take place and be broadcast from the CCCC offices, 5 Patti Page Way, Centerville. Topics to be addressed include:

Traversing the seasonal worker immigration compliance landscape;
How to comply with both federal and state wage laws (and why employers must do both);
How to avoid common, but potentially crippling, mistakes in calculating and paying minimum wage and overtime;
Compliance with the Massachusetts and Federal Tipping Law;
The proper categorization of workers – exempt v. non-exempt and contractors v. employees;
Common mistakes in the hospitality industry;
Personal liability, multiple damages and attorneys’ fees exposure under Massachusetts and federal law; and,
What you should do if faced with a government audit or threatened litigation.

THIS IS THE ONLY SEMINAR ON CAPE COD THIS SPRING FOCUSED ON CAPE COD BUSINESSES AND FEATURING A SPEAKER FROM THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY CHARGED WITH ENFORCING THESE LAWS!
