Seeing too many J‑1s get stuck at onboarding when HR asks for an EAD, delays pay over SSN processing, or won’t recognize sick time; I pulled together a one‑page “For HR” explainer (I‑9 docs combo for J‑1s, SSN timing, payroll setup) plus a short email you can send your HR when these pop up. If you want it, drop a comment and I’ll share and tailor it to your site/state. Open to ideas.
