BALCA overturned the Certifying Officer+s denial of the labor certification

BALCA overturned the Certifying Officer’s denial of the labor certification, finding that the regulations that control placement of Sunday ads versus local and ethnic ads differ, and that the employer was not required to place the local ad in the newspaper “most likely to bring responses.”

BALCA overturns Denial main

Applying the reasoning from Matter of A Cut Above Ceramic Tile, BALCA reversed the Certifying Officer’s denial of the labor certification, finding that an employer is not required to retain or provide proof of publication of its State Workforce Agency (SWA) job order which can be sufficiently documented by listing the start and end dates of the job order on the ETA Form 9089.

BALCA Determines College Prep School Posting Does Not Satisfy On-Campus Recruitment Requirements

BALCA upheld the Certifying Officer’s denial, holding that advertisements posted at a college preparatory school constituted in-house advertisement and not on-campus recruitment at a college or university, and thus did not satisfy the professional pre-filing recruitment requirements of 20 CFR §656.17(e)(1)(ii)(A)–(J).

BALCA Declines to Penalize Employer for Timing Inconsistency in 656.17(e)(2)

Where the employer filed the ETA Form 9089 within six months of the SWA job order, but notwithin 180 days, BALCA overturned the Certifying Officer’s denial, finding that it was unfair to punish the employer because of a potential conflict between the terms “6 months” and “180 days” found at 20 CFR §656.17(e)(2), which provides the timing requirements for when an employer must place an SWA job order and file an application for a nonprofessional occupation.

The Certifying Officer can’t simply deny PERM without giving opportunity to explain

BALCA ordered that the denial of a labor certification be reversed and granted certification in a case where it was not clear on the ETA Form 9089 whether the beneficiary met the PERM job requirements, and stated that the certifying officer should have allowed the employer the opportunity to clarify the qualifications.

BALCA rules in favor of employee

BALCA ordered that certification be granted, concluding that individuals “matched” by a State Workforce Agency (SWA) to a job order are not considered applicants for the PERM position because they have not affirmatively applied for the job.

KPCC reports that California Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill that removes the term “alien,” used in reference to foreign-born workers, from the California Labor Code. Advocates applauded the removal of the term, which is now commonly viewed as derogatory and dehumanizing, as an important step toward modernizing California’s laws.

Wage Issue with PERM?

BALCA reversed the Center Director’s prevailing wage determination, finding that, pursuant to 20 CFR §656.40, an otherwise qualifying employer-provided survey cannot be rejected based on the absence of an arithmetic mean wage.
