The Department of Labor (DOL) will delay its regulation to amend wage obligations for certain temporary visa classifications and permanent labor certifications (PERM), according to a pre-publication notice posted Wednesday.
Key Points:
Background: The DOL wage rule was originally issued in October 2020 and took effect immediately without notice or a public comment period. It was then struck down by a federal court in December. The Trump administration issued a new version of the rule in January, providing for less dramatic wage increases, a delayed effective date and a phased-in approach to implementing new wage levels. The Biden administration has now delayed the rule again to allow more time to review it. A pre-publication version of the delay rule is available here. The final rule is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on May 13.
