U.S. Department of Labor says a New Jersey-based information technology company has agreed to pay more than a half-million dollars in back wages to workers it hired under a temporary visa program that allows companies to hire foreign-born professionals. The department's Wage and Hour Division says Teaneck-based Cognizant Technology Solutions has agreed to pay the money to 67 computer professionals hired on H-1B visas. The department says the company didn't pay proper wages or offer them equal benefits, and failed to maintain required records. A department official says the company immediately responded to correct the violations and PROMISED future compliance. We will see.

SAN JOSE, Calif. The U.S. government fined a consulting firm $45,000 for placing online job ads for computer programmers that said only H-1B visa holders should apply. The case is just the tip of an iceberg of H-1B abuses, according to a lobbying group that filed the original complaint. The Department of Justice said iGate Mastech Inc. (Pittsburgh) placed 30 online job ads in May and June 2006 asking for only H-1B visa holders. The case is one of 215 the DoJ has handled involving preference for H-1B workers over U.S. citizens since the year 2000. One of the iGate ads was for a Java programmer in the Midwest. It stated "Only H-1s Apply, and should be willing to transfer H-1B." According to government figures from 2007 iGate Mastech employed 14 H1-B visa holders in 2007. It was one of nearly 30,000 companies employing a total of 126,219 H1-Bs last year
