I am an institution covered by ACWIA, but there is no ACWIA wage for the suggested SOC I want to use. How will the NPWC apply an ACWIA wage?
The NPWC must issue an ACWIA wage for all institutions covered by ACWIA. When a SOC is assigned to an occupation that does not have an ACWIA wage, the NPWC will use wages for the closest occupation where an ACWIA Higher Education wage is available. The NPWC will enter an explanation of the assigned wage into the Additional Notes section of the PWD.
