Unpaid Employment
志愿者工作
Volunteer work with local charitable organizations does not require work authorization. The work must not be compensated in any way. Examples of this type of volunteer work include serving in a soup kitchen, 在收容所帮忙照顾动物, or providing free tutoring to school children. You can find information about local volunteer opportunities at the 校园参与中心.
无薪实习
Unpaid internships are different than volunteer work, 和 are more complex. 实习, 有偿和无偿, are primarily offered by the private sector 和 are related to the intern’s major field of study. 美国.S. 劳工部有 guidelines for those seeking an unpaid internship(opens in a new window).
The following six criteria must be met for an internship to be considered a legitimate unpaid internship (和 not employment below minimum wage, 违反劳工部法律):
- 的实习, even though it includes actual operation on the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;
- 的实习 experience is for the benefit of the intern;
- The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff;
- The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern, 有时, 它的行动实际上可能受到阻碍;
- The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship; 和
- The employer 和 the intern underst和 that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship
无补偿工作
它是 从来没有 legal for a J-1 student to offer to perform work for free, if that work would normally be paid. This includes work performed on campus, in labs, or for research. 从事应该得到报酬的工作, 不领工资, is a violation of both immigration 和 Department of Labor requirements.
Student Athletes
名称，图像，相似
U.S. laws allow student athletes to earn money based on a policy called 名称，图像，相似 (NIL). However, the immigration rules about employment override the NIL rules. International students must be very cautious when exploring NIL options so as not to violate their student visa. Athletes will need to consult with both ISSS 和 an immigration attorney before accepting any NIL offers. ISSS和大学体育准备了一份 信息的形式 to help students underst和 the complexity of NIL 和 student visas.
