Hi,
My Company has decided to have a force shutdown one day per week starting from this month. So now we will be working 4 days instead of 5 days. We also cannot use PTO during these days. So effectively will be working 32 hrs instead of 40 hrs and getting paid for 32 hrs only.
Am i still considered full-time? Or is there any amendment needed to be filed? How can i determine, if there is any amendment needed to be filed?

Now can this have any implications on H1 status?
I heard that lot of companies are having a monthly or weekly shutdown? How do their employees handle their status situation?

Pls help and respond asap, so that i can talk to my company if needed. My company has no idea about such H1 complex laws, i am the only H1 holder currently in this very small company.
