Lawyer's message: because DOL incorrectly categorized your position as a Marketing Manager, rather than as a Pricing Analyst. As I noted in the request for redetermination, the wording used in the job description exactly matches, in many instances, the wording in the Pricing Analyst DOL description, so I am hopeful that this was just a careless oversight on the part of the government. This happens quite a bit now, since they only have 2 analysts assigned to process Prevailing Wage Applications at the DOL. This is why the process has slowed dramatically, and it is also the reason for all of these mistakes. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do but put forward our best argument (which we have) and hope that they will come back with a correct wage coding. 02/07/2017 PWD redetermination was filed 04/19/2017 Job Orders (30 days with state agency) 05/08/2017 PWD redetermination modified 05/09/2017 Notice of Filing (10 days on company's bullertin board) 05/20/2017 Silence period (30 days) 06/21/2017 Total receive four resumes.
