H1 and leave of absense

[Mihika]

A friend of mine is on H1B and his company is planning to terminate his employment. He checked with his manager and his manager is OK to grant a leave of absense without pay. If situation improves after couple of months then he can be back on the job.

Is this allowed by law ? Can he be on H1 and take a leave of absence for couple of months.

That should be fine.

H1 and leave of absence

Thanks for your reply, can he stay in USA during his leave of absence or will he need to leave the country.
