State of Florida Prevailing Wage Determinations (PWDs) as of October 30th, 2008

General Information
Florida's State Workforce Agency (SWA) processes Prevailing Wage Determinations (PWDs) in a very efficient manner, through online submission. The information is listed at http://www.floridajobs.org/alc/index.html, the site of the State of Florida's Agency for Workforce Innovation (AWI). This is the sister site of www.employflorida.com, which is used to place employers' SWA job orders.

The form is located under item #2 of the AWI's programs list. You can then click on the link, http://www.floridajobs.org/WPS_ALC/prev_wages.html, for the form, which can be completed and submitted right there online. If you do not have internet access, you can call (850) 921-3371 and request that a form be faxed to you.

FL requests that the job description be brief and contain all job duties specific to the position. There is also a link on the web form to http://www.floridajobs.org/alc/ans12.html, where you can find help with skill level definitions. All fields must be completed, including the email address to which the determination will be sent. Please note that FL asks for specific job locations to more accurately determine the wage.

Jurisdiction Specific Information
Should you wish to dispute the determined wage, you may fax a copy of a recent alternate survey to the AWI office at 850-921-3105. You can also purchase a published survey and provide it as evidence of a wage that differs from the determination you received.

Processing Times
The current standard processing time is 4-5 business days. The FL Workforce may take up to 14 business days during their busy H2B processing season.
