What do you mean by "job code"?
DOL will classify the work you do into specific job codes. There are countless of job codes to look through, but there can only be ONE job code per application/certification.
FOR EXAMPLE: if you own a hotel and you need housekeepers, dishwashers, and an outdoor maintenance crew, you would need to file three separate applications to obtain certifications for those three very different jobs.
Each job code has different wages, and with each application, we have to explain the seasonality and need for the occupation within your business. It would be impossible to put three very different types of jobs onto one singular application.

Do my current employees have to make the same as my foreign workers?
Department of Labor (Wage and Hour Division) has a regulation concerning “corresponding employment.” This means that any non H-2 worker employed by an employer that has a certified application who performs substantially the same work as the foreign worker have at least the same protections and benefits as those offered or provided to an H-2 worker.
In short, yes, any current, domestic workers you have doing the same work as the foreign workers have to make at least the same wage.
