Can the Employer offer any salary that is reasonable?
No. The Employer must obtain a Prevailing Wage Determination (PWD) from the State Workforce Agency (SWA). The SWA gives the PWD based on the DOL’s Online Wage Library as appropriate for the Employer’s job requirements. The Employer also can use a salary survey that meets with certain requirements. Also, the Employer must offer 100 percent of the prevailing wage.
