Employer deducted working hours from payslip. Please help

[tina30]

On H-1 I changed my employer.

My old employer deducted 80 working hours money from the payslip to recover notice period and not agreeing to mention anywhere on the payslip the deduction amount or reason for deduction.

 

Is it is a good idea to report to D.O.L in this case ?  (I have all the proofs with me of my working hours) 
 

Can it back fire me in future while G.C. processing ?

You know u can get  a lawyer involved since you know your ex employer did something wrong.One demand letter from a lawyer usually sets such people right to their place.

 

Its your option to involved DOL since its a very lengthy process

 

Not sure what will backfire and why ? if you did nothing wrong, there is nothing to be afraid of.

You need to get paid while employed with the old employer. You may need to file a WH4 complaint with the federal DOL, and also file a complaint with your state department of labor. Not paying employees may be a misdemeanor for the employer (it is in CA.)

Did you sign any contract about the Notice period?

 

If not report the matter with DOL..and NO..it wont back fire in future for GC Processing.

You will not get a good report for not complying with your contract - and don't expect to get rehired when you have issues in the future.
