The funds will go for scholarship assistance for students studying mathematics. computer science. or engineering. for Federal job training services. and for processing and enforcement expenses. The fee will sunset in the year 2001. Under current law. the Labor Department can only investigate a user of the H1B program if an aggrieved party files a complaint. The compromise will allow the Department to investigate a company in certain instances where it receives specific. credible information that provides it with reasonable cause to believe that the company has committed a willful violation to abide by the rules of the H1B program. has shown a pattern or practice of failing to abide by the rules. or has substantially failed to meet the rules. While current law requires an employer to pay an HlB alien at least the prevailing wage for the occupation. the compromise will also require the employer to provide benefits equivalent to those given to American workers.
