What kind of documentation do I need for my radio ads?
To provide proof of airing the employer should keep a copy of the text that was read in the commercial. They should also obtain a written confirmation or broadcast contract. These can be obtained from the radio or television station and should state when the advertisement was aired. Additionally, it is also possible to get an mp3 audio version of the commercial as it will air as well.
In order for commercials to be an acceptable form of advertising, they must run 30 to 180 days prior to the filing of the application. It is wise to keep a record of all contracts and payments made between you and the advertising station.
Radio Commercials for Labor Certification must be completed on time and in full compliance with the DOL.
