My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: New Jersey
Hi, I have my H1B status starting from a particular date in future sponsored by company A. I did sign a contract with them stating that if I don't join on the join date I will pay a sum to them in lieu of the charges(which I don't know). But I have still not joined the company nor did I complete I-9 and W-4 forms. As of now I am not feeling well and wont be able to join the company. Can they ask me to pay that sum legally? Should I go to DOL if they ask. Please advise!!!
