2. Department of Labor (DOL) Open Forum on Holiday Recruitment
The Department of Labor (DOL) held an open forum at the 2009 AILA Conference. One of the participants in the discussion was Dr. William Carlson, Administrator of the Office of Foreign Labor Certification. Dr. Carlson expressed that much of what his office had learned about the PERM process gave them pause. He indicated that although the regulations permit recruitment on holiday weekends, the DOL remained concerned. When his office asked people on the street if they look for jobs on holiday weekends, the answer they received was an unequivocal "no." Therefore, when making a determination if recruitment was done in good faith, Dr. Carlson stated that his office will take into account whether ads were placed on a holiday weekend.
Another factor that Dr. Carlson described as being used to determine a bona fide recruitment campaign, is the "metropolitan statistical area" where the recruitment took place. For example: If the New York Times reports that 400,000 jobs were shed in the New York area in a particular field, the DOL would take that into account when approving a request for a labor certification in the same field in that vicinity.
Dr. Carlson further indicated that an examination of current market conditions would be used to determine the availability of US workers for an employer’s recruitment.
You may find it helpful to keep these factors in mind when preparing a labor certification case.
3. Providing O*Net Codes: Ensuring Proper Classification
When requesting a job order, it is extremely useful to provide the O*Net Code (Occupations Information Network). By providing the O*Net Code, you ensure that USADWEB can correctly categorize your job in accordance with the Prevailing Wage Determination for that particular Occupation Category. The code is also helpful for determining proper newspaper classification.
Most State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) require the Occupation Category in order to submit a job order, and now America’s Job Exchange (AJE) requires it as well.
The following links are helpful for determining the O*Net Code. These links can also be found in the Links section at www.usadweb.com.
