美國暑期打工-J1簽證的工作規定
這邊由InterExchangeru機構介紹，您將更了解美國j1VISA的合作關係及如何讓您獲取此簽證。
美國國務院對於J1簽證學生的工作，有嚴格的規定，也就是說，同學們不是所有的工作都可以做喔! 一起來了解有關工作的規定吧!
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS在美工作權益
每年必問就是!!!【KNOW YOUR RIGHTS】小冊子，若面談當下回答不出，很可能被拒絕喔！！
不是要嚇大家，美國J1簽證計畫及在台協會AIT是希望大家在出發前確認自己的工作權益!!
威廉‧威伯福斯（William Wilberforce, 1759-1833）英國人，他的名字在台灣鮮有人知，他可是提到廢除奴隸制度重要人士之一喔!!不過我們以往印象是美國第16任總統亞伯拉罕‧林肯（Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865）。此重要人物於2007年2月，拍成電影《奇異恩典》（Amazing Grace）。
啟發威伯福斯致力於廢奴制度的，應當是《奇異恩典》的詩歌作者約翰‧牛頓（John Newton）。電影中沒有呈現第一次威伯福斯與牛頓互動的過程，但在文獻中，牛頓第一次向人承認他曾擔任運送黑奴的船長，並為此深深懺悔。他在威伯福斯迷惘於政治洪流時，給予堅定的支持與勸勉：「我盼望並且相信主耶穌高舉了你，是為了祂的教會與我們國家的好處。」
當我們看到威伯福斯置身後花園，向著上帝禱祈之際，他再度迷惘於自己的職業。「是繼續在議會努力，或者成為一個傳道者？」藉由與管家理察的對話、皮特與反奴人士的遊說，以及第二次（出現在電影中）拜訪牛頓牧師時，得到答案：「聽說您最近在煩惱著要當議員或者牧師；我們的建議是，您可以兼顧二者。」、「你有使命要去實現。」威伯福斯順從上帝的呼召（calling），開始推動禁奴法案。
歷經二十載，禁奴法案終於通過了！法律帶來絕對的力量，迫使奴隸制度從此在英國斷絕。威伯福斯與克拉朋聯盟讓人看到，透過法律來禁止奴隸制度是可行的，並且也是唯一的道路。雖然其中發生過大大小小的風浪，威伯福斯堅持到底的精神是禁奴法案成功的原因，而堅定不移的信仰則成為他堅持到底的動力來源。不單如此，我們尤其需要注意，這並不是個人英雄所能完成的志業，而是需要許多志同道合的朋友、伙伴的支持與配合。克拉朋聯盟讓我們不單單將眼光專注於威伯福斯一人身上，更是看到許多才幹在不同人身上發揮、彼此分工合作的美好模範。

We want you to stay safe on your J-1 Exchange program, and we are here to help if an incident were to arise.
Welcome to the Exchange Visitor program for visitors on a J-1 Visa. Know that your safety is our first priority. Should you have a concern or complaint related to your program start by working directly with your local supervisor and your sponsor. Examples of concerns and complains include placement and employment issues, safety concerns, harassament or abuse, or if you or another student is the victim of a serious crime. When we receive a concern or complaint we log it into our case management system. Once a case has been logged it is assigned to a program analyst like me. I start fact finding and confirming details. We want you to know that our team works diligently, and without bias to gather all the relevant facts and see cases through to completion. Don’t hesitate to report a concern or complaint to us. Have fun and remember that we are here to help you if you need us.
允許J1簽證的工作

- 所有提供給美國暑期打工者的工作都必須是季節性或暫時性的，並且都需和美國在地公民進行溝通及互動，且是允許參與者體驗美國文化的雇主。
- 若是在大城市中(例如:邁阿密、紐約或洛杉磯等)暑期打工，雇主須具備以下條件:
- 為季節性及暫時性的工作
- 雇主必須同時雇用當地員工，不可以暑期工讀的學生取代當地員工的名額
- 必須提供學生可負擔的、安全及適合的員工宿舍
Registration is simple and free!
We review all employer registrations with each employer so that we can answer any questions you may have before we begin the recruitment and visa process. This helps us avoid any misunderstandings.
Hours
Most of our students expect to work between 35 and 40 hours per week. Many are willing to work overtime. If additional hours are not available, the J-1 Visa allows a student to get a second job. InterExchange emphasizes to students that a second job should not interfere with their primary jobs. If second jobs are available in your area, please let us know on the Employer Registration Form.
Wages
All of our students are covered by minimum wage and overtime laws as they apply from state to state. As of January 1st, 2015, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. Where state law requires a higher minimum wage, the higher standard applies.
InterExchange students should be paid the same wages as American employees in the same position. If you are providing room and/or board we recommend that these costs be kept separate from the hourly wage. Students appreciate the transparency of having housing and food costs separate from their salaries. Please consult a tax professional regarding regulations if you are deducting housing and food costs from a student’s salary.
Duties
InterExchange realizes that most of the positions offered to students will vary according to the students’ skills, the season, and available hours. Positions must require minimal training and not displace American workers. Positions must allow routine interaction with Americans and others in the host community to allow for cultural exchange.
Accommodations
We ask that employers assist students with coordinating affordable, suitable accommodations before arrival. If you are unable to pre-arrange housing, InterExchange will only consider placing students at the job site if appropriate and affordable accommodation can be found quickly and easily upon the students’ arrival. Additionally, the employer should be available to provide advice and assistance in finding and securing accommodations. Please remember that for many of our students, this is their first time in the U.S., so they may be unfamiliar with how to find housing and will need your assistance.
Note: If a housing deposit is required, please make sure the students are given a receipt and that they clearly understand the rules and conditions regarding this deposit. If the students use bicycles, please encourage them to wear helmets, use lights, and obey all traffic rules.
Incentives and Bonuses
Some employers choose to offer students a performance bonus. or lump sum at the end of their program. The bonus is also a nice gesture because students often can use this money when they travel after their work commitment.
Note: Bonuses are not mandatory and generally cannot be deducted or withheld from regular pay.
工作類型為季節性及暫時性的工作，主要是觀光、餐旅服務業類性質的工作，例如: 餐廳、飯店、旅館、遊樂園、國家公園等所需的工作人員。

注意: 目前已經禁止J1學生在工廠或農場暑期打工囉!
想去美國暑期打工，但不太清楚可以工作的時間? 聽其他外國同學說可以5月就去?
那台灣呢?
因為每個國家的學制及學期時間不同，所以會有不同可以進入到美打的工作時間喔。
另外若是在海外念大學的同學，就要依照那個大學的國籍來確認可以工作的時間。
