The U.S. Department of Labor is implementing new minimum hourly wage rates for H-2A workers in an effort to ensure wages of similarly employed U.S. workers are not adversely affected.
The H-2A adverse effect wage rates are determined for all occupations and locations based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's annual wages rates from its regional Farm Labor Survey of nonfamily field and livestock workers.
The DOL annually publishes these rates in the Federal Register to alert employers participating in the H-2A temporary visa program of their responsibilities. Rates go into effect the day they are published and only apply to the H-2A program.
