Kiranzos 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2018 Hi, My visa is successfully transferred to another employer. I am planning to join the new company in 2 weeks. But my current employer wants me to give 30 days notice as I had signed an agreement, in which it says 30 days of notice an employee has to give. Do I still need to serve 30 days notice or can I give notice of 15 days or less? He also pays 1 month delayed salary? So my worry you if I serve 30days notice he might End up not paying 2 months salary. Please let me know your advise. Warm Regards, Kiran Share this post Link to post

Make sure to have conversations on emails rather than on phone. Share this post Link to post

Warm Regards, Kiran Did you sign such a letter that states that you agreed to give a notice of 30 days ? If yes and all conditions of the agreement are met, the employer can legally sue you very easily for damages. Whether they will do it or not is a different thing. Delayed salary also seems like a violation of h1b laws. Did you sign any such documents that said you will be paid 30 days late ? If not, they are probably trying to scare you to get out the last month of profit from you and your client. Now, my suggestion to you would be to leave such an employer asap especially when you are on H1b. Whether you give your notice to him or not is trivial. Consulting a labor and immigration lawyer won't hurt you in anycase. Share this post Link to post

Whether you signed an agreement to receive delayed payment or not - You can get them in trouble for "this" forget they suing you about the damages. They got more things to worry.

Desi consultancies are considered some of the biggest H1b abusers. Share this post Link to post

Desi consultancies are considered some of the biggest H1b abusers. They can be reported to DOL. There is a standard form to report all wage violations. However, like above 30 day notice agreement is enforceable in most states. Share this post Link to post
