h1bv1 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 In the past, when I was on bench, employer did not pay me for few weeks. Later they asked me to apply leave for those period. Can this be reported to DOL WH4 and claim back wages for those period even though leave was applied? Has anyone else come across this scenario? Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 There is a concept where you work and you were not paid in such cases you can complain to DOL. But in your case, they approved your unppaid leave. Talk with labor attorney. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) That is illegal. How long ago was that? A leave of absence forced by the employer is illegal. You have 1 year after the rule violation to report it on form WH4. Edited May 22, 2020 by JoeF Quote Link to comment
