The NWA is closely monitoring developments following the recent federal court decision affecting the Department of Labor’s current Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) methodology.The key point for employers is clear: the existing AEWRs remain in effect, and employers have not been directed to take any action. DOL is expected to issue additional guidance, including information regarding a limited period during which potential wage adjustments could apply.
NWA is continuing to work with our public affairs partners to follow these developments and will share additional information as it becomes available.
