Employers seeking to employ temporary H-2B workers must apply for Temporary
Employment Certification. An employer may submit a request for multiple unnamed
foreign workers as long as each worker is to perform the same services or labor, on the
same terms and conditions, in the same occupation, in the same area of intended
employment during the same period of employment. Certification is issued to the
employer, not the worker, and is not transferable from one employer to another or from
one worker to another.
