Pay stubs for 40 hours biweekly before H1B Transfer for a new company

[murali_h1]

I was laid off and was given 2 weeks of notice.

When I requested my Manager as i need some more to find a new job they told me to take a week of unpaid vacation for 2 weeks in a month.

let's say my pay roll period is from 1 - 15 and 16 - 30.

They want me to take a week off in the first pay roll period and another week in 16-30 pay period.

So that they can pay me the same as they want to.

1) Does this create any issues

2) I need to find a new job and transfer my H1B to them. All of my previous pay stubs will be for $3600 and the last 2 pay stubs will be for $1800. Does this create any issues for H1B visa transfer.

Dont reply that they have to pay minimum of LCA.

Definitely it is more than LCA.

Your responses will be very helpful.

Never say the word "unpaid vacation". This term is against the H1B rules.

On H1, you can not just take an unpaid vacation and stay in the US.

You should file a COS to some other status, e.g., B2, if you need more time.

If you decide to return to your home country, the company has to pay for your ticket, by law (not for dependents, though.)

Rahul412,

Thanks for you reply.

1)Lets say I have 10 days of PTO(Paid Time Off) and I want to take 15 days of Time Off what do we call it.

2) For any company we will have X number of PTO and what if a H1B candidate wants to take Off more than that time.

Please respond to this .. I want to know in more detail....

1.That 5 days salary will be considered as loss of pay

2. That's the same as above one, loss of pay.
