Please provide the employee's salary. For this purpose, salary means the minimum base salary that the employee will receive during the H-1B status term, excluding contingent compensation such as bonuses or remuneration for teaching elective courses during the summer or winter breaks. If the employee will be paid in nine months as opposed to twelve months, do not annualize the salary. It is critical that we have the absolute minimum pay that the employee will actually receive during his/her appointment (i.e. academic year or calendar year), as this amount will constitute ASU's wage obligation. If you have any questions, please contact Lynn Leinwohl and/or Candy Sandoval.

*Part-time employment salary must be listed in an hourly pay format, and must state the number of hours per week the employee will work. (This is a requirement of the USCIS and must be listed on the petition that we submit to them.) It is the sponsoring department’s responsibility to keep a record of the part time employee hours worked per week and send the information to ISSC on a monthly basis.
