A recent Departmentof Labor decision, DeDios v. Medical Dynamic Systems, Inc.,is a great primer on how employers and attorneys should treat H-1B employeesalary obligations.  The case highlights severalkey issues: when does an H-1B employer’s salary obligation begin, when does itend, whether an employee may pay the H-1B filing and professional fees, and howto treat “benching”.

MU Law is using the DeDios case for a series on H-1B employer wage obligations.  We have also updated our “Top 10things employers should keep in mind in order to stay compliant with the H‐1B visaprocess”.  If you would like acopy of the Top 10, pleaselet us know.

The series will run over the next few blog posts.
