Hi, im on a H1B working at EY in new york. Since the office is closed, would I be able to work remote from my home country for a month? (2 weeks on the bench & 2 weeks of PTO) Or is that not allowed for H1B to work outside of the US without taking a vacation and still getting paid?

I don't think it violates the h1b since I did a project in Canada for example.. so for sure you can work from a different country. Why don't you call the in house council and ask? I think you will probably have tax issues in your home country (double tax payment)

OP it’s a direct violation. There is cross border team, you have to get their approval. They will advice the best and no one else. Please don’t take any chances.

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
