I came to my present job from a previous position without going home.So my boss didnt have to pay for me to come in to the country.......but now Im thinking...Maybe he has a legal responsibility to pay for my airfare home..Hmm

A question you should have asked before signing on! A big loud, reounding, Homer-ish "Doh"!

I'm 99% sure that it's not their legal obligation to provide you with an airfare. Did you negotiate for a higher monthly salary in lieu of an airfare?

Hmmm, the clarity of 20/20 hindsight...

See what reponses you get here and if there's a lot of conflicting advice, try contacting the folk at EFL Law

Does you cintract say that you are owed return airfare? Mine does and that means my boss has to pay it.
