$22,168 more — $204,568 — moves this role to Level IV and 4 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $204,568 would place this position at wage Level IV. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "General and Operations Managers" for prevailing-wage purposes.
