The Department of Labor (DOL) proposes to amend its regulations for employer-provided wage surveys for the H-2B temporary labor certification program. The regulations were published in 2015 in the Wage Methodology for the Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment H-2B Program Final Rule.
DOL proposes to amend the regulations consistent with recent federal litigation by clarifying existing requirements for employer-provided surveys for the H-2B program. DOL also proposes to add new requirements and eliminate Form ETA-9165, Employer-Provided Survey Attestations to Accompany H-2B Prevailing Wage Determination Request Based on a Non-OEWS Survey.
