Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need LMRA registration before hiring?
Employers generally need to be registered before employee applications can proceed. We complete employer registration as part of formation where hiring is planned.
How is progress tracked?
Each application is tracked internally in your case with its current stage and how long it has been there. Corvane does not present authority systems as connected feeds.
Can you handle renewals?
Yes. Renewals, transfers and cancellations are handled as ongoing administration once your employer file is set up.
