Healthy Harvest Company runs a candy and fruit processing and packaging plant. Most
of Healthy Harvest’s business is done during holiday seasons, especially between
Halloween and New Year’s Day, and in the spring. The company hires a large temporary
workforce during its busiest times. Occasionally, a position opens for an individual with
highly specialized skills, particularly to operate and maintain the company’s inventory
and sales control systems. Can Healthy Harvest hire noncitizens for its temporary,
seasonal work? Can the company hire a noncitizen with special skills for certain jobs?
If so, what procedures must the employer follow in both situations to do this hiring? If
not, how can Healthy Harvest be assured that it is hiring only citizens?
