Hi folks,
this site below says: "The Department of Labor regulations prohibit an employer from putting an H-1B holder on bench status. If an employer places an H-1B in bench equivalent status, the employee must nevertheless be paid a full wage. You are still in H-1B status even if you are put on bench, unless the employer clearly terminates the employment relationship."
Could someone specify what "clearly terminates the employment relationship" would be?
Stops paying wages?
Tells me I'm laid off?
Lays me off in writing?
Laid-off date is last date mentioned on latest pay stub?
Files a revoke of my petition I-129? (Also pays or offers to pay a return ticket)
Receives confirmation from USCIS, revoking the I-129 petition? (In this case, is the laying off active from the receipt of the approval or at the earlist from the day the employer filed?)
