May an employer require productivity standards if the work is paid on a piece-rate basis?
Yes. If the employer pays by the piece rate and specifies the productivity standard in the job offer. Any productivity standard required by an employer may be no more than those required by the employer in 1977, unless the OFLC Administrator approves a higher minimum, or, if the employer first applied for an H-2 temporary labor certification after 1977, such standards must be no more than those normally required by other employers for the activity in the area of intended employment at the time the employer filed its first application.
