Re: Fulltime Employee didn't get paid

The employer is required, both under the H1B rules and under the CA labor code to pay you what was agreed to. This can be pursued either through the California system or the federal Department of Labor -- you're in a hard position in the H1B situation because the employer controls your visa, feel free to write back on my private email, and leave me a phone number to discuss further. . . .the employer could also be barred from taking any H1B employees in the future.
