Pay During Vacation ?

[pratikny1287]

Hi all,

i recently transfer my H1 B from desi employer to an american consulting firm. everything is working fine so far & even i am getting paid every Friday.

Now i am planning to take a vacation for 2 weeks in April & thinking to go for stamping in Canada soon after that. So while i ask my employer that whether i will get any pay during vacation he simply says that NO. They have policies that i must need to compete 1 year with them & then only i can get a paid vacation for up to 4 weeks in a year.

So is it OK to not get paid on H1B while you are on vacation & will it create any issues while i go for stamping ?

any inputs will be very helpful.

Thank You.

First of all, the vacation policy should have been written out in the employment contract. Didn't you read that before signing?

Second, find a better employer. With all my employers, I had 2 weeks of vacation from the first year on, and more the longer I am there.

On H1B you should be paid, at least or more than your LCA stated pay "rate".
