DOL Decisions Reflect Crack Down on Compliance
Recent opinions issued by Department of Labor Administrative Law
Judges demonstrate DOL’s emphasis on H-1B compliance issues. One
decision held the petitioning company’s owner personally liable for
nearly $40,000 in back pay to an H-1B employee. Another decision
upheld debarment from the H-1B program and fines issued to a company
for willful failure to comply with record-keeping and wage
requirements and for failing to cooperate with the investigation.
These decisions all resulted from DOL investigations of companies’
compliance with the H-1B program.
