Well, if it is the rule for everyone in your company, then can apply to you as wel. There should not be any discrimination for H1B worker.

Here is what it says on [DOL website:](http://www.dol.gov/whd/FLSAEmployeeCard/H1BEnglish.pdf)



 



WORKING CONDITIONS: Your employer must

provide you with working conditions on the same basis

and criteria as provided to similarly employed U.S.

workers (such as hours, shifts, vacations, and 

seniority-based benefits).  NOTICE:  Your employer

must provide you with a copy of the Labor Condition

Application.
