Please -Staying at Guest House Legal or illegal

[H1BEmployee1]

As a H1Bemployee is it legal staying at consulting company's guest house?

Thats your decision. It is not illegal, where you live is your choice. However, many states have laws about the maximum number of people staying in a X bedroom apartment.

Please share your thoughts,

I made a complaint to DOL against my employer for not paying for more than 3 months. After that I told my employer about the complaint. Now they are asking me to come to office and to stay in guest house. I know they will force me to sign any other documents, leave, termination or prove some thing. But I NEVER sign on anything. Now what kind of problems I may expect from them?

Please let me know what kind of action I could take if there is any.

You should make yourself "available" for work to the employer at all times as per the DOL rules for you to get paid. If you don't show up to work, they are protecting themselves from your DOL complaint. You need to should up at work and document that in some fashion.

Thank you for your reply. They never made a request to visit office before but not they are forcing me to come to office. I said the same thing that I am coming.

Is there any DOL rule says that employee should come to office to collect your pay/payslips or any other documents?

Yes and no. DOL uses a broad term "make available to work". Look up the relevant H1b law section from the DOL website.
