In order to ensure that foreign workers are not taking jobs which could be done by US citizens and existing permanent residents, companies that are in the PERM program have to advertise the jobs within the US in the same way they would with any other role. Thus, using a foreign workforce is acceptable only when the recruitment process has failed to find suitable US workers.<\/p>\n<p>According to the DOJ, Apple did not advertise job openings that were eligible for the PERM program on its website. Then Apple required applicants for those jobs to mail paper applications even though it usually permits electronic applications, the department said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese less effective recruitment procedures nearly always resulted in few or no applications to PERM positions from applicants whose permission to work does not expire,\u201d the department said.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple will have to pay $25 million to settle claims by the Department of Justice, a report from Reuters says.
