H-2B seasonal workers for Panhandle employers
H-2B lets employers bring in seasonal non-agricultural workers under an approved petition. It takes planning: filing starts months before the season.

What to know before you start
- H-2B work is seasonal and runs under an approved petition.
- There is a statutory cap on visas, and filing windows open months ahead of the season.
- Nobody can guarantee a visa, a petition approval or an arrival date.
- Workers never pay fees to be recruited or hired.
For current cap status and filing windows, see the H-2B cap and deadline tracker. It shows the date each figure was last verified.

We map your roles, headcount and dates against the filing windows.

Why Alto HR
A workforce partner that has worked the floor
Built by store operators
Founded by former big-box retail operators. We know the store floor, not just recruiting.
Local, not remote
Our office is in Miramar Beach. We can meet you in person and walk your store.
Ready on day one
Associates are screened and prepared before their first shift, so your managers are not starting from zero.
We carry the paperwork
Alto associates are our W-2 employees. We run their pay, tax forms and employment records.
What a client says
Alto HR turned around our produce department staffing in under a week. The associates showed up trained, motivated, and ready to go. We haven’t had a call-out crisis since.
Common questions
How far ahead do we need to start?
Months ahead. Filing windows open well before the season starts, so the planning conversation should begin early. The cap tracker shows the current position.
