FAQs
What is a prevailing wage determination?
Before an employer can file a PERM, it has to ask the Department of Labor what the job legally has to pay. That request is form ETA-9141, DOL answers with a prevailing wage determination, and the PERM offer cannot come in under it. Case numbers start with P-. PERM Tracker holds every decided wage request in DOL's published files, from October 2023 to the end of DOL's newest file.
Can I look up a pending wage request?
Yes. DOL answers per case for anything still moving, so a P- number that has no decision yet still resolves here, and PERM Tracker asks DOL directly if it has not seen the number before. What a pending record cannot show is the wage itself: DOL publishes that only when the case reaches a quarterly disclosure file. Look one up on case status.
How long does a prevailing wage determination take?
DOL publishes the filing month it is currently working rather than an average wait, and it runs two separate queues: one for jobs priced from the OEWS survey and a slower one for everything else. The wage-request calculator reads today's published position and estimates from it, and processing times carries DOL's own figure with the date it published it.
How does this work?
DOL numbers every filing from one running counter. This site walks it two or three times a day for new filings, then re-checks each request until DOL decides.
Why might one case be missing?
One filed today shows up after the next check. A pending one older than the live record has reached so far is absent until the walk gets there, and a decided one outside the quarterly files loaded here has no wage yet. Have the number? The case lookup asks DOL live, so it finds a case this list doesn't hold yet, and a mistyped number is worth checking first.
