1. USADWEB Launches First Issue of USADNews
Welcome to the first issue of USADNews! Through this e-NewsBlast, we will provide you with useful, cutting-edge information to assist you in advertising for your labor certification cases. Look for topics such as: updates on newspaper specials, tips related to SWA job order placement, and information about new features and services offered by USADWEB.

2. Important Update About Virginia Job Orders
Recently, the Virginia Workforce Commission has experienced technical problems with the transfer of information to new internal systems at the VA DOL. This has caused a delay in the time it takes for Virginia to post job orders. Currently, the backlog is about 1.5 to 2 weeks. We understand the need for timely SWA postings, and we will do whatever we can to help. We appreciate your patience as we work with the Virginia Workforce to post job orders as soon as possible. To avoid any unnecessary delays, please be sure that you provide us with all the information required to submit the job order.

3. Tips On Placing SWA Job Orders
The SWA job order is the single most important step in a PERM labor certification case. However, placing a SWA job order can sometimes be a tedious and seemingly overwhelming process. Here are some tips to help ensure the smooth and timely placement of your job order.

Please be sure to include the following information when requesting a SWA job order:

1. Company FEIN (Federal Employment Identification Number)

2. UIN (Unemployment Insurance Number) Also referred to as the EDD (Employment Development Department) or Employment Commission Number, this number is required by the following states: Alabama, California, Idaho, Massachusetts, New York, Nevada, and Utah.

3. Company address, company contact, email address & phone number This information will not necessarily be displayed to job seekers, but it is required in order to register the company. Registration enables the company to post job orders in that particular state. Please note: Although a company’s headquarters may be in a different state, registration is required for the state of the company’s SWA posting.

4. Salary Some workforce agencies require salary to post job orders, others do not. Therefore, it is helpful to include the salary on all job order requests. If salary is not required for the particular order, we will not have to use it. We do request that you include it in case we need it, as states change requirements without notice. Additionally, please know that the states that require salary for posting often allow the option to hide salary information from job seekers.

5. Education and Experience Requirements Please make sure to indicate whatever requirements you want listed for this job if they are not already specified in the ad text.

The easiest way to make sure you have sent all necessary information is to use USADWEB’s SWA Order Form. Ask your ad rep if you would like a copy emailed to you.
