When a job contractor intends to file an Application for Temporary Employment Certification as a joint employer with its employer-client, is the job contractor or the employer-client responsible for obtaining the prevailing wage determination?
Either the job contractor or its employer-client may submit an ETA Form 9141, Application for Prevailing Wage Determination, describing the job opportunity to the National Prevailing Wage Center (NPWC). Both of the joint employers are, however, responsible for ensuring that the wage offer listed on the Application for Temporary Employment Certification, ETA Form 9142, and related recruitment at least equals the prevailing wage rate determined by the NPWC and that all other wage obligations are met.
