What Salary Does PERM Require Employers To Pay In Connection With The Labor Certification Position?
A. An employer must complete a Prevailing Wage Determination Request Form (PWDR) and file it with the SWA before filing the Labor Certification Application. The SWA will use its wage survey data to provide a prevailing wage unless an employer provides an acceptable alternative survey. The SWA will be required to provide at least four wage levels instead of the two (entry-level and experienced) it currently provides. If only two levels are available for the government wage survey, an arithmetic formula will be used to determine two additional wage levels. We expect that these four wage levels will substantially improve the situation for obtaining more appropriate prevailing wage determinations. The employer also has the option of using a qualifying survey, which must meet certain specified criteria to be considered acceptable. These criteria are essentially the same as the criteria under RIR except that a median figure, not just an arithmetic mean, can in certain circumstances be used f
