Immigration IMM

Support policies that address the systemic professional talent shortage in the U.S. while continuing to meet near-term needs. The U.S. has for many years experienced a shortage of highly-skilled technical professionals. A qualified workforce is essential to the U.S. economy and the success of the IT and engineering staffing industry. TechServe Alliance supports policies that address the systemic talent shortage including increasing resources for STEM education and worker training. Further, to meet near-term needs, Congress should provide access to a reasonable number of IT and engineering professionals on H-1B visas without any policy changes that discriminate against U.S.-based IT and engineering staffing firms.

Pass-Through Provisions/Revenue IT and Engineering Consultants Providing Services as Independent Contractors Should Be Treated the Same as Professionals in Other Industries.

Labor Issues/Antitrust/Workplace LBR

Clarify the FLSA Definition of Computer Professional to Reflect Hundreds of New IT Occupations. The 1990s definition of computer professional codified in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was enacted when the World Wide Web and the Internet were in the infancy stage. As America's technology industry has grown extremely fast for more than two decades, there are literally hundreds of new IT professional occupations. TechServe Alliance strongly supports efforts to resolve any doubt about whether these new IT occupations fall within the FLSA computer professional exemption through updating and clarifying the statutory language.
