                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 501_ENFORCEMENT OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS FOR TEMPORARY ALIEN 
 
                      Subpart A_General Provisions
 
Sec. 501.4  Waiver of rights prohibited.

    No person shall seek to have an H-2A worker, or other worker 
employed in corresponding employment by an H-2A employer, waive rights 
conferred under section 216 of the INA or under these regulations. Such 
waiver is against public policy. Any agreement by an employee purporting 
to waive or modify any rights inuring to said person under the Act or 
these regulations shall be void as contrary to public policy, except 
that a waiver or modification of rights or obligations hereunder in 
favor of the Secretary shall be valid for purposes of enforcement of the 
provisions of the Act or these regulations. This does not prevent 
agreements to settle private litigation.
