What can my company do with me if the client penalized us for a mistake we made?
Hi,
I am working as a mechanical engineer in a firefighting company in Abu Dhabi. I am in charge of and representing one of our sites and I am working inside the site.
Due to our mistake during maintenance, we created a fire alarm which results in the evacuation of around 450 persons for 20 minutes. Due to this issue, our client charged a penalty of around 40000 Dhs to our company.
Hence I need to know what actions can my company take against me.
Is it allowed for the company to charge a full penalty amount from me or will they terminate me without settlement if I am proven guilty?
If I need to pay the company some amount, what is the maximum amount I need to pay legally?
If I am planning to resign from my company, will they make any issues during visa cancellation?
Hence this mistake was not made on purpose, they can't make you liable for the entire damage. The action has to be taken during the time of employment.
Your company will be partially liable for this mistake. You may negotiate with your company to settle this matter.
