To use a PERM prevailing wage determination (PWD) in a PERM case, at least one qualifying advertisement must be posted before the PWD expires.
• If the PWD expires before any advertisement is posted, the employer must obtain a new PWD and restart the PERM process. • The requirement ensures the PWD remains valid for the recruitment steps of the PERM application. • Timing is critical: advertisements must be posted before the expiration date to preserve the current PWD.
Takeaway: Employers with a PWD nearing expiration must post at least one qualifying advertisement before the expiry date to avoid having to request a new PWD and restart PERM recruitment.
