Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) Methodology Changes for H-2A Nonimmigrants in U.S. Agriculture

$129.99

This course delivers in-depth, actionable training on the Department of Labor’s new rule for setting Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWRs) for H-2A nonimmigrants in non-range agricultural roles. Learn how to assign the correct SOC code based on job duties, implement skill-based wage determinations using BLS OEWS data, and apply the new housing adjustment factor. Equip your team to comply with annual wage updates, maintain proper documentation, and avoid costly enforcement actions or debarment.

In this course you will learn the following:
* Understand the legal authority and statutory framework for the H-2A program and AEWR.
* Identify and apply the new AEWR methodology, including skill-based wage determinations and housing adjustments.
* Implement the revised procedures for job classification, wage offers, and recordkeeping.
* Recognize the legal, financial, and operational consequences of non-compliance.
* Prepare for annual updates and ongoing compliance obligations under the new rule.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all course purchases are for access to the course for a period of 1-year.  At the end of the one year term, the course will be set to “inactive”. 

Why This Course is Important
Without this course, you risk misclassifying jobs, underpaying wages, missing housing adjustment requirements, or facing penalties, audits, and possible debarment from the H-2A program.
