Q: Indemnity calculation in Bahrain for terminated employee on an indefinite employment contract.

Q: How to calculate indemnity payment? My salary is directly banked into HSBC Bahrain monthly which includes my basic pay, housing allowance and transportation. The question is if the indemnity payment calculated based on the amount banked into account or only on basic salary? I have been working with this consultancy firm since 2008 and they recently gave me termination letter (one month notice). What is my entitlement for settlement?

Q: I finished my contract here in Bahrain 2 years, am I able to claim my indemnity? If yes, what is the calculation? Thanks.

Q: I have been working as a receptionist for 6 years now but I don't have any increments in the salary. I'm using my own car and I'm a holder Bahraini passport.

Q: Can my boss decrease my house allowances? I signed the contract almost 2 years ago. The contract says they shall give me 250 BHD for house allowances but the situation at work changed and I have more duties and responsibilities now than before. They didn't increase my salary or change my contract but we did a verbal agreement. We accorded they will pay 425 BHD for the house allowances. Everything was fine, they did it for 1 year and a half but yesterday the new manager told me they are going to stop to do it because in the contract it says only 250 BHD. Is that legal? After being doing it for a long time, can they change it like that? We have proof that the company is the one paying the house, also the house contract is in their name. Thanks in advance :)
