Labor Certification Process for the Temporary Employment of Aliens in Agriculture and Logging in the United States: 1994 Adverse Effect Wage Rates and Allowable Charges for Agricultural and Logging Workers' Meals

Resumo

The Director, U.S. Employment Service, announces 1994 adverse effect wage rates (AEWRs) for employers seeking nonimmigrant alien (H- 2A) workers for temporary or seasonal agricultural labor or services and the allowable charges employers seeking nonimmigrant alien workers for temporary or seasonal agricultural labor or services or logging work may levy upon their workers when they provide three meals per day. AEWRs are the minimum wage rates which the Department of Labor has determined must be offered and paid to U.S. and alien workers by employers of nonimmigrant alien agricultural workers (H-2A visaholders). AEWRs are established to prevent the employment of these aliens from adversely affecting wages of similarly employed U.S. workers. The Director also announces the new rates which covered agricultural and logging employers may charge their workers for three daily meals.
