A very easy fix for this is to tie compensation to cost of living. If the cost of living is dramatically more expensive in San Francisco than it is in Little Rock Arkansas, the income requirements should reflect that.
- prostoalex 10y agoThis is the exact loophole they're trying to close. The law already requires the employer pay the prevailing wage. The arbitrage from outsourcing companies (Cognizant, Tata, Infosys) included head-quartering in cheap areas of Georgia and New Jersey, filing DoL paperwork with wages prevailing in that HQ area, and then sending their employees on "business trips" to the actual client place (CA, NY) while not adjusting the wages.
