The Society for Human Resources Management–CNMI Chapter is reminding that the data collection portal is now open for businesses and organizations to log on and complete the 2022 CNMI Prevailing Wage Study survey. The data collection phase is from March 1 to March 15. The results of the survey will be used to produce the CNMI hourly wage statistics for 2022.
All private businesses, public agencies, and organizations, with employees and with no employees in the CNMI are urged to participate in the 2022 PWS survey.
Businesses and organizations can access the portal through http://cnmidata.commerce.gov.mp/.
For those who registered and participated in the 2021 PWS survey, you may use your username and password that you created in 2021 to log in to the portal, update your business/agency/organization information, and submit your employee data for 2022.
For everyone else who will submit survey data for the first time via the CNMI PWS portal, you will be prompted to create a username and a password. Creating your username and password registers you into the site and allows you to provide basic directory information about your business/agency/organization and submit the requested employee data for the survey. Be sure to allow yourself time to review and understand the survey instructions provided on the portal before proceeding to complete the survey.
The 2018 NMI US Workforce Act requires the CNMI to publish a prevailing wage report annually for CW1 visa determination and approval by the US Department of Labor. Additionally, the 2022 PWS data will be used to publish a separate report detailing the survey methodology with a more detailed occupational wage statistics for PERM, H-1B and H-2B determination and approval by the US Department of Labor.
Questions and inquiries for the 2022 PWS should be directed to the Prevailing Wage Study project at telephone numbers 322-3005/3007 or email address cnmi.csd@commerce.gov.mp. (Saipan Tribune/PR)
