Business trip from Poland to the United States

  • The written assignment must confirm the U.S. host, property or project, roof system, duties, dates, wage, hours, immigration basis, travel, accommodation, local transport, insurance, PPE, tools, taxes, deductions, and return arrangements before departure.
