Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

What are my rights regarding being an American and a contractor?

I am an American and a contractor

working for the US government in

South Korea. What are my rights

regarding

repatriation and housing

reimbursement to the company due to

involuntary layoff? The company's

headquarters are in Fairfax VA. I am

currently working in South Korea.

There have been issues with the

amount of time my security clearance

is taking to go through, therefore they

want all the housing allowance they

gave me back immediately and will

leave me no funds to return stateside

or live in Korea. I am basically stuck

here. All I am asking is for them to

repatriate me or allow me to use the

rest of the housing to repatriate and

pay them back a little later. How can I

resolve this situation?

Re: What are my rights regarding being an American and a contractor?

Whatever your rights may be regarding the issues which you've mentioned, you will likely find them outlined in the contract governing your terms of employment with the company which has contracted with the U.S. to perform the work in S. Korea.

Better read it carefully.
