Asking an employee to pay all allowances back in case of resignation
Hi all,
I Have a problem. I talked with HR today as I want to resign. He told me that I need to pay all allowances back to the company (home allowance etc.)!
When I checked my contract, I saw that it is mentioned that I should pay if I leave the company, but this is just the contract I signed online from a website.
I've also signed another contract with my wet sign (which is Arabic written also and sent to the government, I think) before signing another one, In that contract, nothing is mentioned like that. So is this legal?
Can they take allowances back?
Doesn't the official labor contract prevails over anything else I signed?
Dear Sir,
First of all, you are entitled to your home allowances as per the labour contract with the ministry of labour. Basically, it is not legal.
Please note that we need to review the contract that you have signed to advise further in this issue.
In case the company put any further request to pay the home allowance, then you can raise a labour complaint by informing the court about this issue.
We can assist you in this case. Kindly feel free to contact us further via phone or email to discuss the matter in details.
Regards,
