Compensation for H-1 lay off
My friend is working for NASDAQ listed company in US. We were in a discussion about the compensation details available for H1B employee if the company does a lay-off and he is affected due to it. He is on end of his 6th year and just got his 7th year extension.
If something like that happen(not that it should happen) but if that happen what are the compensation he is entitled to get from the company, apart from 2 weeks pay.
There is no special protection of compensation under H-1 laws once employment is terminated. Under immigration laws, the employer is required only pay for a one-way ticket back to your home country. The protection, if any, comes from employment contracts.
We have known Mr. Khanna and his firm for many years. We contact The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna primarily to receive expert advice on H1B petition including transfer.
Mr. Khanna is very experience counsel and his continued advice to our firm as well as our potential employees is greatly appreciated. Besides performing well at his duty, we found Mr Khanna and his team including Anna Baker to be a great source of information on H1B and more. Mr Khanna and Ms Baker are always willing to provide professional immigration advice to business owners like us over and above their normal call of duty. Hence I fully recommend Mr Khanna’s firm to provide immigration services to employers and its potential hires that may require work visa including H1B.
