This system automatically selects employers enrolled in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program for compliance inspections, using risk-based criteria and business rules to prioritize those who may be more likely to violate program conditions. It produces a referral list that human investigators then use to initiate and conduct inspections. The system does not make any compliance finding — all decisions about employer compliance remain with trained human inspectors.
