A consulting company employs H-1B workers.

The H-1B visa program requires employers to pay foreign workers at least 95% of the average salary for their occupation. However, some companies exploit a loophole by misclassifying experienced H-1B workers as entry-level to justify paying them lower wages.

By doing this, the company artificially lowers salary expectations for H-1B workers, avoiding compliance with wage requirements while benefiting from cheaper labor.

H-1B Wage Regulations (Department of Labor, LCA Requirements) – Employers must accurately classify workers based on experience level.

Corporate Ethics & Fair Compensation – Ethical labor practices ensure fair wages regardless of immigration status.

Utilitarian & Deontological Ethics – Ethical employers should not manipulate classifications to exploit workers.

Whistleblower Protections (H-1B & Immigration Labor Laws) – H-1B employees can report misclassification and wage exploitation.

Relevant Ethical References in Technology:Thus, the correct answer is B. Classifying an H-1B worker as entry level when they fill a position of an experienced worker, as it allows employers to pay lower wages unfairly.
