Introduction

Employer compliance in employment-based immigration hinges on two operational duties: posting Labor Condition Application (LCA) notices in a way that reaches affected workers, and creating/retaining a compliant Public Access File (PAF). Parley adds an employer‑facing layer to your immigration workflows so attorneys and HR can generate electronic LCA postings, automate takedown at the end of the posting period, and assemble/retain PAFs—without leaving your AI‑native case system.

What this solution delivers

Electronic LCA postings published to a shareable link for affected workers.
Auto‑takedown at the end of the posting window; no manual cleanup.
Public Access File (PAF) creation from uploaded LCA documents, with structured sections and retention for Department of Labor compliance.
Petitioner-facing portal access so corporate clients can view postings and their PAF.
Centralized audit readiness alongside Parley’s AI drafting, form‑fill, and assembly stack. See core platform overview on the Parley website, coverage in Business Insider, and product profile on LegalTechnologyHub.

How electronic LCA postings work in Parley

1) Create a posting: Enter LCA details and designate the affected worksite(s). 2) Generate a secure, shareable posting link: Distribute directly to affected workers; no physical bulletin boards required. 3) Set the posting window: Parley tracks start/end dates and automatically removes the notice when the period ends. 4) Archive artifacts: The posting and related materials are retained in the matter for audit readiness alongside downstream petition materials.

Public Access File (PAF) management

Upload the certified LCA and supporting employer documents; Parley automatically creates a PAF with the appropriate sections.
Invite the petitioner (employer) to a client‑specific portal to review the PAF and contribute required materials.
Retain the PAF in Parley for the required statutory periods and centralize it with the underlying case record.
Prepare for audits proactively as DOL scrutiny increases (for example, firms have flagged rising audit risks tied to “Project Firewall”); Parley keeps employer materials organized and discoverable across matters.

Compliance checklist for employers and counsel

Use this checklist to structure employer compliance around the LCA and PAF. A printable PDF version is available—request it via Contact Parley.

Define the role and worksite(s); coordinate with counsel on job duties and minimum requirements.
Confirm the correct occupational classification and wage source per counsel’s guidance.
Prepare and review the LCA with counsel; capture the information needed for worker notice.
Post LCA notices so that affected workers can readily access them for the required period; document posting dates and distribution method.
Assemble a Public Access File containing the documents and disclosures required by regulation (e.g., certified LCA, wage/benefit disclosures, and posting evidence) and ensure availability upon request.
Retain LCA/PAF records for the required durations; calendar renewal/extension events.
Centralize artifacts: certified LCAs, postings, and PAFs should live with the case record.
Train HR and coordinate responsibilities with counsel; create an internal SOP and review it periodically.
