Claiming last month salary after signing the cancellation papers
Good day,
I resigned from my company with a 1-month notice until December 31, 2019.
My company accepted my resignation but had requested me to extend working with them till January 28, 2020. I agreed but had asked my company to pay my end of service till Dec 31, even I'm still working, since I need to settle my loans before going back to my home country.
They told me that my salary for January 1-28 will be given only once I complete my extension. I already signed the visa cancellation and work permit papers even I didn't receive my remaining salary yet. My visa And work permit was already canceled on January 26.
When I followed up for my 28 days salary with HR, they have no response and ignored me. I raised a complaint with the Ministry of labor. We have scheduled a hearing tomorrow Feb 1. What will I do if the employer did not appear on the scheduled hearing?
Thank you!
Dear questioner,
Answering your main question, you should ask the Ministry of Labour to refer your complaint to the court.
For your information, you need to prove your working days after the date of 31/12/2019 or you will easily lose your case, because the first thing, they are going to do, is submitting the cancellation paper which is proving that you left the company by 31/12/2019 and the employer handed over your duties.
For further inquires, please do not hesitate to contact me here or on my email as well.
Kind regards,
Ahmed Saad Harb
