Is Employer not paying you? No problem Read this one

Now, final verdict has come for those employers exploiting H1 employees.

Now , no grace period, all the employers must inform DOL/INS about lay-off otherwise they have to pay "back wages" even if it is one year old.

Laid off - H1 must carful in transfering their H1 in time to other companies or H4 if spouse is here or F1 if thre is no other option available, until get an another H1.
The U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Administrative Review Board (ARB) assessed over $250,000 in back wages and a $40,000 civil fine against a computer consulting company, on June 30, 2005, that had unlawfully benched H1B foreign national employees. The ARB awarded substantial back wages to both the employer's current and former employees, even though the employer attempted to argue that the employees had been laid off or otherwise terminated. It is important for employers and employees to understand that there are legal consequences that will likely follow if there is a breach of obligations under immigration law. It is important to follow steps to avoid these adverse consequences.
