Nani_H1b Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hi, I came across a situation where employer received call from IRS as he is running pay check more than LCA wage for one of his employee. Does IRS call employer to verify why he is running more than LCA. How does IRS knows LCA wage of H1b as it is different department. If there is a increase in pay scale who is working in same job with no change in job duties and location does he need to file amendment or new LCA. If new LCA is sufficient how can we determine that. Is there any limit that pay check can not increase certain amount of LCA. Appreciate your reply. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 IRS does never call. That's a fraud call. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 The IRS does not call somebody out of the blue. If your employer is trying to bluff you in to not giving you a raise, then get another job. Quote Link to comment
User099 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Unless your LCA is filed for 60K and you are getting paid 130K it will not be an issue and IRS will not know about your LCA for sure. Quote Link to comment
Nani_H1b Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Appreciate every ones reply. Even I asked same question question how does IRS know about my LCA. His argument is they might be knowing using SAVE database. How much is the maximum variance can we have between LCA and Wage. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Again, IRS never calls. They need a paper trail for everything. There are never any calls from IRS. Peruod. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 It would seem he wants to bluff you out of a salary increase or a salary you deserve. Quote Link to comment

There is not rule for it, but I would say 10-15% (if you get 5% hike per year for 3 years) will be reasonably allowed. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 You can be paid any sum above the LC. If your employer wants to give you a million-dollar bonus, he is allowed to. What is not allowed is paying you less than the LC. What part of "your employer is fooling you" is not clear? Quote Link to comment
