What kind of protection, I can get in California? How could I make my company pay for my 70 hours? ( H1B Visa ) PDF Print E-mail

Q: I am in this country in H1B visa. My company is making me work for 70 hours/week and billing its client the same. But I am being paid only for 40 hours/week. Since company is holding my VISA, I am afraid of speaking about it for the fear of losing job in terrible market. What kind of protection, I can get in California? How could I make my company pay for my 70 hours? 

A: Sadly, the company has put you in a terrible position since you are being exploited. Unfortunately, although you have the legal right to report your company to DOL and CIS, practically speaking doing so could potentially create a difficult situation for you. Perhaps the best suggestion for you is to locate a new H-1B employer and change jobs. Then , you could report your current company and seek proper back wages.
