Early termination of employment
3
Q: Dear Sir / Madam,
I am working as Project Manager in a consulting firm. At the end of January, our client requested some of the firm's PMs to be replaced, including me.
In order to keep a clean record, I agreed with my company to give them my resignation for family reasons, with a 3 months notice period as per my contract. The resignation was given on 20 January and the last working day would be 20 April.
Last Thursday (9 Feb), my company requested an earlier termination, in order my replacement to arrive at work. I accepted their request and when I went to the head office, I was informed that they are not willing to compensate me for the rest of my notice period, until 20 April.
Since the amount is equivalent to salaries of 2 months and 10 days, I seek your legal advice on how to deal with that.
Best Regards

أعمل كمصممة مسلسلات وأفلام رسوم متحركة وتواصل معي أحد الأشخاص من خارج البحرين وأخبرني أنه يحتاجني في الفريق في مشروع رسوم متحركة. أجبته بأنني مستعدة للعمل معه، وطلب عنوان البريد الالكتروني للتواصل.
يستغرق إنشاء الحلقة الواحدة أسابيع وفي بعض الحالات شهور، كيف أحافظ على أعمالي التي سأقدمها له من السرقة؟ وكيف أجبره على إدراج اسمي في شاشة المصممين؟

Filing a labor case to claim pending dues 0
I completed my two-year contract in a construction company.
I'd like to change the company because my current company is not paying salaries for the last 5 months and does not allow for a vacation. I got another job and I informed my current employer about that.
The next day they renewed my visa and said to continue here and promised that on July 1st I can go for a vacation and the pending salaries will be paid before that.
But still, they didn't send me and tell me next week. I am waiting for the vacation for the last 2 months. The main thing is that my father is sick in India and I informed them also but still they are doing this.
Two days ago I went to the office to see my manager and ask for my passport and I said I want to continue. He said that we will decide once you come back and promised within two days.
1) If they failed to keep the promise, what action can I take against them? I don't like to continue here anymore.
2) I am worried that if they send me on a vacation, they will cancel my visa. What can I do from India?

What to do to defend a cheque bounce case 0
Hi,
My father is in prison after a cheque bounce case of 1.2 million Bahraini Dinars.
The only reason he was unable to pay this amount of money was due to a reduction in business due to the financial crisis going on.
His case is now being dealt with in the criminal court. In what way can we get him out and clear this mess? And can we apply for bankruptcy now?

limitation period for labor claims in Bahrain 0
Hi there!
What action should I take if my previous employer hasn't settled my final settlement plus my pending salaries prior to my resignation?
When I follow up, they would say that they don't have anything to give. It has already been more than a year since I left the company?
Is there any hope that I could still obtain my dues?
