Prevailing Wage Guide for Locker Room, Coatroom, and Dressing Room Attendants

Confirm your worksite city before comparing wages

For coat check and locker room roles, the prevailing wage is tied to the actual work location on the LCA, not the employer's headquarters. Wages in Kahului, HI and San Jose, CA run significantly higher than national figures, while Oklahoma City and Milwaukee sit near the bottom of the range.

Watch for tip income excluded from DOL wage calculations

Athletic equipment managers and coat check attendants at venues or clubs often receive gratuities. DOL prevailing wage calculations use base hourly pay only. Tips, bonuses, and non-cash perks do not count toward satisfying the wage floor on an LCA.

Understand how title aliasing affects your SOC assignment

Employers sometimes list this role as a wardrobe assistant, equipment coordinator, or guest services attendant. If the employer files under a different SOC code, the prevailing wage floor changes. Verify that SOC 39-3093 appears on your LCA before accepting a sponsored offer.

Use Migrate Mate to find sponsors with a filing history

Sponsored locker room and coat check roles are uncommon, so employer history matters. Migrate Mate shows which employers have previously sponsored workers in this occupation, helping you target companies already familiar with the LCA process for SOC 39-3093 roles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does DOL set the prevailing wage for Athletic Equipment Manager roles?

DOL calculates prevailing wages using Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For SOC 39-3093, OFLC assigns a wage to each of four experience levels in each metro area. Employers sponsoring a coat check attendant or locker room attendant must pay at least the level that matches the position's actual duties and supervision structure.

What do the four wage levels mean and how do I know which one applies to my offer?

Level 1 covers entry positions with close supervision and no experience required. Level 2 reflects routine independent work and is the most common filing level for this occupation. Level 3 applies to experienced attendants with broader responsibilities. Level 4 covers senior or lead roles. Your level should match the job duties described in the LCA, not simply your years of experience elsewhere.

Why does the prevailing wage for this role vary so much from city to city?

OFLC derives wages from regional Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics surveys, so local labor market conditions directly shape each metro's floor. The worksite address on the LCA determines which metro rate applies, not where the employer is based. Cities with higher overall wages or stronger union presence in hospitality and recreation, such as Kahului or San Jose, set a higher floor than markets like Oklahoma City or Milwaukee.

What happens if an employer offers below the prevailing wage for a sponsored position?

An LCA certified below the applicable prevailing wage exposes the employer to DOL audit, back-wage liability, and debarment from future sponsorships. USCIS can also deny or revoke the underlying H-1B or similar petition. The sponsored worker bears no direct penalty, but an underpaid offer may not survive the certification or adjudication stage, leaving the sponsorship void.

How do I find and verify the prevailing wage for this role in a specific U.S. city?

Use the OFLC Wage Search tool, select SOC 39-3093, and enter the worksite city or county. The result shows the four wage levels for that area. You can also review O*NET for the occupation profile. For jobs already posted with sponsorship, Migrate Mate lists employers with a demonstrated history of sponsoring workers in this occupation, making it easier to identify who has filed LCAs for these roles before.
