Department of Labor (DOL) published a new regulation lifting wages for H-1B, E-3, and H-1B1 nonimmigrant cases and the PERM labor certification program.
Effective Date: 10/08/2020*
*LCAs that are filed on or after 10/08/2020 and PERM prevailing wage determinations issued on or after 10/08/2020 will be subject to the new wage structure.
In order to illustrate the change, we provide a chart mapping the wage percentiles and another comparing the wages, before and after the regulation.
