do employers get notified if an employee apply for new visa

we are trying to hire a German who is in USA on an E1 Visa. If we apply for an
H1B, does his current employer get any notification of this? Also, will he be
able to continue to travel in and out of the country?

no, his current employer will not be notified if you petition for a H-1b on his behalf.  however, if you do apply for a change of status and that petition is accepted in the lottery, if he travels the change of status portion will be terminated and even if the h-1b is approved, he would have to go abroad for consular processing.  please let me know if you have any additional questions or how i can be of further assistance to you in this matter.
