Labor & Employment Law
: Charles A. Krugel, Labor & Employment Law, HR LawQuestions Regarding Immigration Visa and Employment Eligibility
By charlesakrugel
A reader recently asked the following:
What are the penalties and consequences, if any, for knowingly hiring an individual as an independent contractor whose work visa (H1) had expired and offering part time employment to his wife, who is on a H4 Visa?
My answer follows:
The below information in bold is directly from the United States’ Department of Labor. Please note that this is general information only, and that the Department of Labor MAY assess penalties. “May” is the key word here. As noted below, penalties really depend “on the type and severity of the violation.” Moreover, the Department of Labor generally only investigates if apprised of a violation. Generally, it doesn’t have the “manpower” to just do random investigations.
