Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida
H-1B employment contract
I had a written employment contract with agency for a full time position. If agency was unable to provide full time hours should they pay me full time or only hours worked ? Same Q re. my other benefits which has been canceled because of my low hours. There is also disagreement re. my PTO (paid time off) which I have not used and agency states I have none to use (I saved all my paycheck's stubs and timecards for the whole employment period - ~6 years). What are the chances to win the case? (I do not work for them anymore) Is it worth it?

Re: H-1B employment contract
I would need more info to advise you in detail, but I am guessing that you would not win on the full-time issue because you did not work the hours but kept the part-time job and thus accepted the arrangement. You might prevail on some of the vacation hours (the statute of limitations would limit the number of years you could collect), depending on the contract and any applicable policies.
In either case, it might be worth having a lawyer send a demand letter, even if you do not think you would sue.
If you want to discuss your options, please call for a free consultation to review the facts more fully.
Good luck.
