ISSUE 1045
FLORIDA AGENCY FOR WORKFORCE INNOVATION TO CONDUCT WAGE SURVEY The Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation,
Alien Labor Certification Section, recently announced that
it will conduct a prevailing wage and employment practices
survey of early and mid-season orange pickers during February.
The survey will be conducted by mail and usually takes 15
minutes to complete. Some surveys may be conducted by phone.
Results of these surveys are used by the
U.S. Department of Labor for the purpose of approving or denying
the employment of H-2A foreign agricultural guest workers.
Results are also useful to the agricultural industry for the
purposes of determining whether or not a company is paying
the prevailing rate to its workers. Since the individual information
is kept confidential and because the results provide useful
information, your participation is strongly encouraged. Failure
to participate by a large number of citrus employers adversely
affects the results of the survey and hurts citrus employers
employing H-2A foreign workers.
