US based H1B, green card or other type visa employees cannot take unpaid furloughs as this is a break in employment and can result in deportation. Visa and green card employees will be exempt from furloughs in the US.
I bet nobody is mentioning that little fact.
Only H1B is like this.
L1 and O1 can be furloughed. Green card too, in fact green card is practically the same as a national on nearly all legalities (accept you can't vote I think), not company tied like L1 and O1 etc.
why is this not talked about more and more?
@dpr+1nZ9P08k Best post of the year!
@dpr+1nZ9P08k Ain't that the truth!
Regular workers are exempt from stable, dignified employment.
Pretty sure it is only H1B Visa that is exempt.
Except for me on an L1 Visa, annoyingly I am not exempt. L1 is the very worst visa.
