    other names used

    Hi, I use an American name at work here in the U.S.A, but never used this name in my home country. Unfortunately my last work place used this name on my W-2. Should I report this name in the Other names used field? Will it affect my name check process? Thanks!

    Prevailing wage date must be ealier than the Ad posting date?

    My ads were posted before my PWD too. My lawyer didn't think it would be an issue. However, I did notice my job order was posted after my lawyer got my PWD.

Most of librarian titles require master of library science(MLS) or equivalent, and my degree is definitely an equivalent.

    problems with PWD and code

    Maybe different states handle this differently. In New Jersey, when we fill out the PWD form, we specify what occupational code and title we want to use, and the official would approve (or disapprove) and decide the salary, skill level, etc. I don't understand why your lawyers cannot pick an...

    Could I just a different job title to apply for prevailing wage

    It's still much higher than my current wage, I am sorry to tell you. I passed the opinions from you guys to my lawyer. She keeps saying 151041 wouldn't be a problem for me. She said most jobs of computer area don't require master but most of them get approved with MS.

    Could I just a different job title to apply for prevailing wage

    I really appreciate your opinion! The prevailing wage I got from 151031 is much higher than my current salary, and my employer doesn't want to sign on any legal document with such a high wage even though I explained to them that this is a future salary and they really don't have to pay me this...

    Could I just a different job title to apply for prevailing wage

    Could I just a different job title to apply for prevailing wage

    My lawyer requested two PWD requests for me already. The title she put in"Job Title of Position Offered" in the second request is different than my current title, but with that title she was able to get a much lower wage. She said it really doesn't matter. However, to get my employer sign for...

    Could I just a different job title to apply for prevailing wage

    I applied for a prevailing wage after my job ad was posted on several places. Based on the title I used in the ad, the PW I got was way high. So my lawyer used another title to get a lower wage. However, the title she used in the application was not the same as the one in my ad. She said it's a...
