Whether you employ one H-1B employee or 100 H-1B employees, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) require you to follow very specific rules. Failure to comply with these rules can lead to heavy fines, penalties, payment of back wages, debarrment, and negative publicity for your business. The DOL has ordered millions of dollars in back wages and imposed thousands of dollars in fines on companies after auditing their records and practices. With the right information, you can avoid this outcome for your company and safely hire and retain key H-1B employees.
