The "UI cutoff wage" is a short term for wages that are 10 percent below the UI Prevailing Wages. Wages offered that fail to meet the "cutoff wage" may be refused by job seekers without forfeiture of their UI benefits for prevailing wage reasons. <br /> <br />These wages are to be used for UI purposes only. They are not to be used, for example, for prevailing wages for Public Work or Alien Labor <br />Certification purposes. <br />---------- <br />Please search our database by county and job title, using the boxes below. <br />Once you have found the title(s) you need, you will have the UI Prevailing <br />Wage and the UI Cutoff value. These wages are not to be used for other <br />purposes. <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5423812-105382122358679304?l=iwsnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SBasefskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17045674293940059265noreply@blogger.com
