If an applicant is unsure at this time whether it wishes to convert to RIR, may it still convert to RIR later? Will the applicant still receive the “hold harmless” benefit?
Employers may continue to submit RIR conversion requests under the TEGL of October 6, 2006. However, the hold harmless policy will only be in effect for cases for which an intent to convert request is obtained between December 20, 2006 and January 20, 2007. An employer who files for RIR conversion after the “hold harmless” period (that is, does not submit a request prior to January 20, 2007) will not receive the benefit of the “hold harmless” opportunity and may be denied RIR conversion if the BEC has initiated job order activity.
