Yes - it’s an issue unless he has a visa to work in the US.

I am assuming said person does not have or intend to get an employment authorization document and is notnotherwise authorized to work in the US. Upon arrival, They should def not disclose that the are coming to the US to work. If they are paid under the table, it shouldn’t be a major issue, but is still not advisable. So, yes, there are issues.

Noooo this is bad advice. Except your last sentence. Working without work authorization, under table or not, is a violation of status. Lying to a CBP officer is even worse.

At the sake of being non-legal and just a practical person…just go and work remote for the 2 weeks and don’t be super obvious about it?

Hey OP, I’m an employment immigration attorney. Feel free to DM me.

The TN visa is an option, but I’m not sure how they’d qualify as a salesman. However, depending on type of product/service, it might be possible.

The L-1 might also be possible if they’ve been with company at least one year and can either be classified as manager/specialized knowledge.

Don’t advise him to lie to CBP. Don’t pay him under the table. Don’t let him come here and work without authorization. It could jeopardize his ability to come back, or if he ever decided to apply for a green card, even one day of unauthorized work could make him ineligible. As a company, you open yourself up to civil (and criminal!) liability for willingly employing someone without work authorization. Just no good all around for all parties.

What specific non-immigrant visa would apply here? (Fintech salesman)

A TN visa is specifically for Canadian citizens. The candidate must meet certain criteria though depending on the occupation. You can google these criteria

I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know.

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.
