احتفاظ صاحب العمل بجواز السفر بعد إنهاء الخدمة

هل يحق لي مقاضاة صاحب العمل لاحتفاظه بجواز سفري؟

لقد طلبت إنهاء عقد العمل الخاص بي في مكتب العمل، لكن صاحب العمل رفض تسليم وثيقة إنهاء الخدمة بعد أن تجاوزت فترة السماح البالغة 30 يومًا.

Hello.

You may file a complaint against your former Employer. It is illegal to withhold anyone's passport.

Okay, Sir.

How can I go about that?

I don't know anyone here.

Hi,

You can approach the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization for this purpose. They can assist you with the matter.

Dear Questioner,

It is against the law to keep an employee's passport in possession during the employment period and after the end of the employment agreement.

You can place a complaint at the Ministry of Labour and they will advise you on how to proceed further.

Good Luck.
