What is ‘Multiple Worksites’ in the LCA?

‘Multiple Worksites’ is the term used when an H-1B professional performs work at more than one location, different from the primary address listed on the LCA (Labor Condition Application). The LCA is the document through which the employer commits to wage and working conditions before the U.S. Department of Labor.

When an employee works at various addresses, for example on projects with clients in different cities, the employer must reflect that reality. Depending on the frequency and nature of those movements, it may be necessary to register each location or obtain an LCA that covers the relevant work area, so that all work sites remain in compliance.

• Each relevant work location must be covered by a valid LCA.
• The obligation to map the addresses falls on the employer, not the professional.
• Working at a location not covered can raise issues during the process.

Because the rules on area and location coverage have nuances, it is advisable to confirm each specific situation with the USCIS, the Department of Labor, or a specialist before accepting assignments at new addresses.
