NEW DELHI--An investigation by the U.S. Labor Department has
cleared Infosys Ltd. of any violations of visa rules for skilled
workers during its work with a California power company, the Indian
outsourcing firm said.
"The U.S. Department of Labor concluded its investigation with a
determination of compliance regarding labor condition applications
filed in the Southern California Edison project," Infosys said in a
statement posted on its Website on Monday. "Over 145 files were
reviewed, with no violations found," the statement added.
The Labor Department in June said it was trying to determine if
Infosys, along with competitor Tata Consultancy Services Ltd.,
violated labor and immigration laws by replacing American workers
with foreigners on temporary work visas when working with the power
company, Southern California Edison.
However, the status of the investigation against TCS was still
unclear.
A company spokesperson said in an emailed statement that "audits
by the Department of Labor have taken place from time to time and
TCS has always been found to be compliant." The spokesperson
declined further comment.
The U.S. Labor Department didn't immediately respond to a
request for comment.
