That’s a great question, and you’re right on track! The forms of identification required to apply with Let’s Work are generally the same as those required for the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.
This is because, as an employer, we need to verify your identity and authorization to work in the United States. To streamline the process, we typically ask for documentation that complies with the I-9 requirements.
You will generally need to provide either:
One document from List A: These documents establish both identity and employment authorization. Examples include:

For many of our positions, especially in manufacturing, construction, or warehouse environments around Portland, safety is paramount. In these cases, you’ll likely be required to wear specific safety gear. This could include:
Yes, Let’s Work provides personal protective equipment (PPE) to all employees in accordance with Oregon OSHA regulations. Proper PPE is essential for workplace safety and must be used when hazards are present.
Employees will receive the necessary PPE to perform their job safely. However, all issued PPE must be returned upon completion of work or when no longer needed. If PPE is not returned, the cost of the items will be deducted from the employee’s paycheck.
By ensuring employees have access to PPE while maintaining accountability for its return, Let’s Work prioritizes safety while managing resources effectively. If you have any questions about PPE requirements or responsibilities, please reach out to your supervisor.
