How much should I pay the International Student?
We recommend that you pay the International employee "market wages".
Because the students will be traveling home when their program is completed,
we suggest that you offer a completion bonus. Apex USA can help you structure
the bonus, as well!
Do International Students pay taxes?
Like your standard employees, International students are subject to pay
Federal and State and Local taxes. Employers must pay workers compensation
and unemployment insurance, same as any other employee.
International students; however, are not subject to Social Security taxes.
What
are my responsibilities as an employer of International Students?
Housing
You do not have to personally provide housing for the students; however,
Apex USA does require that you find housing at a reasonable cost for the
students prior to their arrival. Apex USA is available if you need
tips or suggestions on how to acquire housing.
Social Security Card
Apex USA asks that you provide the students with transportation needed
to go to the area Social Security Department in order to acquire their
Social Security Numbers.
Can
students work without a Social Security Number?
Yes, please visit the following website for more detailed information:
www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10107.html#number
How long will the student employees remain?
By law the Summer Work Travel students are limited to a 4 month work period
beginning after May 15 and ending by October 19 each year. Typically international
students arrive in late May or June and remain through Labor Day or to
October 19.
Can I select my own students?
We work directly with you to learn and understand your staffing needs,
so that we will be able to find the best “fit” for your operation. With
you, we determine the jobs you have to offer, and the English skill necessary
for those jobs. It is our goal to establish a strong relationship with
you, so that we have a clear understanding of the type of employees that
you are searching for. Our relationship with employers is such that they
ask us to select their staff based on criteria and dates they provide.
We do offer employers the option of attending the overseas interview process
at their cost, if they prefer a more “hands-on” approach to hiring students.
Do you have references?
We would be happy to provide references upon request.
What about Interns? What is the difference?
APEX USA is authorized to recruit students for internships of 5 months
to 18 months duration in the fields of Food Service and Tourism. Interns
are able to arrive at any time and remain for 5 to 18 months depending
upon the internship.

do I get started?

What
is the I-9 form, and where do I get one?
All U.S. employers are responsible for completion and retention of Form
I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States.
This includes citizens and non-citizens. On the form, the employer must
verify the employment eligibility and identity documents presented by
the employee and record the document information on the Form I-9. The
I-9 form may be downloaded
