Can employer ask for H1B liquidated damages in my scenario?
Hello Team,
I came to US on H1B. I have a one year contract ($15000) with my employer if I leave before that. But due to the following I have planned to leave him:
1. When I came to U.S., he asked me to search for a project and said that salary will only start if I get a project. He said that I won’t work with the client mentioned in LCA.
2. I came to U.S. on 22nd December and got a project till 16 January. He gave me first salary on 15th Feb but the paystub was dated 16th to 31st Jan (so I’m not sure which period salary I should consider that as to me I got salary late irrespective of the paystub date).
3. Now, I’m getting salary semi-monthly regurlarly but once I’m not on project gain he will stop salary till I get different client/project.
4. The above points are nowhere in written.
Now, if I leave them and go for H1B transfer, can they file a legal case against me as I have signed the contract?
If they file a legal case, what should be my next step?
Thanks.
