Violation Description: Infosys Limited, an India-based business consulting, information and outsourcing services company, and its subsidiary, Infosys BPM Limited, agreed to pay California $800,000 to resolve allegations that between 2006 and 2017 approximately 500 Infosys employees were working in California on Infosys-sponsored B-1 visas rather than H-1B visas. This misclassification resulted in Infosys avoiding California payroll taxes such as the unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and employment training taxes.
