02/12/2006: Prohibition of Employer From Receiving Any Payment of Any Kind From Any Source Under Proposed Regulation
The proposed regulation to eliminate the substitution of labor certification beneficiary goes beyond eliminination of substitution and 45-day validity cap of the certified labor certification applications. The regulation bars employers from seeking or receiving any payment in any kind or any form from any source including the alien beneficiaries. The preamble illustrates the following, among others, which fall under these prohibitions:
Employer fees for hiring the alien beneficiary;
Receing "kickbacks" of part of the alien beneficiary's pay either in the form of payroll deduction or otherwise;
Paying the alien beneficiary less than amounted stated on the application;
Goods and services or other wage or employment concessions;
Receiving payment for filing labor certification from aliens or attorneys or agents;
Payment of attorney fees and costs by the aliens relating to preparing, filing, and obtaining labor certification application.
Any other payment from any other source.
The regulation does not specify the effective date for this rule, but it provides that this prohibition includes ETA 750 cases and ETA 9089 cases and any other actions in connection with the permanent labor certification process. It thus implies that this prohibition will apply retroactively to all the pending backlog cases (ETA 750) and all the PERM cases (ETA 9089). It is not clear whether the prohibition will retroactively apply to the cases which have already been certified at the final rule's effective date, but such broad brush retroactive application of the regulation may face a serious challenge in the federal courts. The retroactive application of this rule is indeed very troublesome in that the regulation and practice of the DOL have permitted some of the listed payment by the aliens or sources other than the employers. DOL should clarify the effective date of application of this new rule, particularly as related to the ETA 750 backlog cases which even go back to as early as the year 2000!! Please stay tuned to this website for the development of this part of regulation.
This rule will affect the dynamics of the labor certification from the perspectives of the employers as the DOL's proposed FY 2007 budget also proposes to enact another regulation to charge filing fees for the labor certification applications. Depending on the amount of the filing fees, the cost to the employers for filing labor certification applications may skyrocket down the road.
