Who is going to enforce the law? How would anyone even find out?
- ysa44 5y agoThe massive amount of paperwork involved in employing someone, for starters. And yes, labor law is enforced.
- b3morales 5y agoAssuming you're in the U.S., the state or federal labor department. You or anyone else with knowledge of the situation can report it. (The law also covers retaliation by the company against whistleblowers.) https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/minimumwage https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/minimumwage
- sage76 5y agoThere is no benefit in reporting it. I would lose my job and visa.
- renewiltord 5y agoWhat visa are you on? It can’t be the H-1B because that needs prevailing wage. Unless they’re fucking you on that by performing immigration fraud. In which case, holy shit what a clusterfuck you’re in. I’m sorry, man. I feel for you. Hope things get better. If it’s F-1 OPT or J-1 I get it. Even a TN would put you in the same place as the H-1B.
- beebeepka 5y agoHave you considered donating an organ to said startup? You know, as a means to stay in the game
- sage76 5y agoMaybe that's the next step. I would just give up and get some other job with less requirements, but I don't know what that would be. There were a few sales jobs that I was considering.
