Step 1: H-2A Payroll & Tax Review
Start with a deep dive into your payroll and tax records.
We begin with a full historical audit of your payroll practices and tax filings—including IRS Form 943—to identify issues that could lead to penalties during a Wage and Hour Division (WHD) investigation. You can’t change the past, but you can get ahead of it.
This review ensures:
✅ Hours offered and wages paid align with H-2A standards
✅ Reimbursements, bonuses, and deductions align with job orders
✅ Past payroll errors don’t become audit liabilities

Every employer completes a 1.5-hour virtual session with WLW2 Consulting, led by Warren Williams—a former DOL H-2A investigator with 23 years at the U.S. Department of Labor and deep insight into labor law enforcement.
This session includes:
✅ You’ll face questions you didn’t even know to expect—we already know the answers
