Federal law requires employers to document that H-1B works will not be paid less than the actual wage paid to
other similarly employed workers at Auburn University. Below, please provide the required information on
similarly employed workers in the hiring department/unit.
List the names, annual salaries, and work hours of the employees that are similarly employed to the H-1B
worker. If the salary of the listed employee(s) is higher than that offered to the H-1B worker, provide a detailed
explanation that justifies the higher salary based on the following criteria:
Experience (length, depth, or type)
Qualifications
Educational background
Position responsibility and function
Specialized knowledge or research field
*Note that limited grant or departmental funding, or market conditions, cannot be used to justify paying
the H-1B worker a lower salary.
