Abstract:
The information contained in the Form ETA-9141 is the basis for the Secretary’s determination of the wage employers must pay in order protect against adverse effect on U.S. workers’ wages by the employment of a foreign worker. Prior to submitting requests for most labor certifications or a labor condition applications to the Secretary of Labor, employers must obtain a prevailing wage for the job opportunity based on the place of employment in order to ensure that wages are not being adversely affected by paying foreign workers less than a prevailing wage. Form ETA-9141, Application for Prevailing Wage Determination, is used to collect the necessary information from employers to enable the Department of Labor (Department) to issue a prevailing wage for the occupation and location of the job offer. The Form ETA-9141 is used in the H-2B, H-1B, H-1B1, E-3, and PERM programs administered by the Department. In order to meet its statutory responsibilities under the INA, the Department must request information from employers seeking to hire and import foreign labor. The Department uses the information collected to determine the appropriate wages that must be paid by an employer to foreign workers in most programs.
