Delay of Effective Date for Wage Methodology for the Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment H-2B Program

The Department of Labor is delaying the effective date of the Wage Methodology for the Temporary Non-Agricultural Employment H-2B Program due to recently enacted legislation that prohibits funding for the first 6 months of fiscal year 2013. The delay affects the methodology for calculating prevailing wages for H-2B and U.S. workers recruited for temporary labor certifications.
