H-1B expiration : Leaving US. But can one continue US employment/payroll for some time?

[VSharma007]

Hello:

 

I have a question:

 

My H-1B visa expires on Oct 1, 2013. I plan to leave for India before then. 

 

Instead of leaving the company right away, I first want to use my vacation time and then leave. Can I still be on my US payroll and use my vacation time while outside the US after Oct 1, 2013? Would this be legal? Can it pose any potential issues while re-entering the US in the future?

 

Again, I'll physically leave the US before Oct 1. All I want to know is if I can continue my US employment/payroll for a few more weeks?

 

Thanks

Vishal

Yes. It would be legal.
