H-1B EMPLOYER OWES OVER $156K IN BACK WAGES

After an H-1B employer messed up an employee termination, DOL determined that he owes over $156,000 in back wages.
The employer in that case notified the employee about his termination, but failed to notify USCIS and also failed to pay for the employee's return transportation home. The employee departed eventually on his own, but the employer was still ordered to pay back wages throughout the entire H-1B period, even after the employee left the United States.
The case, Limanseto v. Ganze and Company is available at:
