H1B visa and teleworking

chiara

Hi,
I am a part-time H1Bvisa worker. I usually travel between the US where I work for company A (sponsoring my visa) and Europe where I do teleworking for company B. With the Covid situation I got stuck in the US, however I had commitments with company B for the month of May. Let's say that in May I will still be here in the US, am I allowed to telework for company B? I know that normally I cannot do it, but just wondering if the Covid situation would count as an exception (like a sort of force majeure situation).
Thanks for your help
 
We are still waiting for word from the department of labor on how to deal with offsite working locations where movement is restricted because of the virus outbreak. Personally, I do not think this is going to be a problem. The technical discussion is long and complex, but in these types of cases, I would be surprised if the Department of Labor wants to take any compliance actions against people in your situation. I would not worry.
