Hello, I have health issues, but my company does not allow me to go to my home country without paying a penalty. Is that right? Should I pay or not? I have already paid 4,500 AED to the company for the employment visa.

Hello I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes. After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary. That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee. Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?
