Employment Authorization

Employment Authorization refers to the legal permission granted to individuals, often non-citizens, allowing them to work in a country. In the United States, for instance, those who apply for and receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) can legally accept a job. This process is crucial for immigrants seeking to enter the workforce and contributes to both their personal livelihood and the broader economy. Employment Authorization is typically temporary and may need to be renewed periodically, depending on the individual’s immigration status or circumstances.
