What if an employer receives a prevailing wage from the BEC and wants to challenge it?
The employer must submit the challenge documentation to the BEC Certifying Officer (CO). Employers are encouraged to submit documentation refuting the prevailing wage as quickly as possible to avoid problems in meeting their obligation to submit the RIR recruitment package by the deadline (April 1, 2007). If the employer wishes to challenge the BEC determination with a prevailing wage which it has already obtained from the SWA, it may do so. However, SWAs are under no obligation to provide prevailing wage determinations for RIR conversion applications.
