This, alone, is enough to satisfy the specified regulation. See 20 C.F.R. 656.40c, indicating that quot;to use a prevailing wage rate provided by the National Processing Center or quot;NPCquot;, EMPLOYERS MUST FILE THEIR APPLICATIONS OR begin the recruitment period required by 656.17e...of this part within the validity period specified by the NPC.quot; 20 C.F.R. 656.40c. Emphasis added. It, further, should also be noted that the recruitment events, undertaken in this matter, all were begun and ended while the prevailing wage determination was valid, and there were not any recruitment activities already moving and in process before the determination issued. This is the other way in which to establish 20 C.F.R. 656.40c compliance. Both, then, apply here with either one standalone sufficient to meet regulation.br br Telecommuting Disclaimer Note that telecommuting exclusively working remotely from home, this is not permitted due to laboratorybased nature of work and role.br br Failure to State quot;Kellogg Languagequot; not a Valid Basis to Deny According to Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals Cite Federal Insurance Company, 2008PER0037.
