Leaving the current work and getting another offer in limited contracts
Hi Sir,
I am an Architect Engineer and I am writing to you because I am too much discouraged and blackmailed by my employer.
I was selected for an office and I worked there for 3 months and then, due to workload, my employer transferred me 2 times. When he was doing that, he said that he will pay for my rent in the first month and, in the 2nd month, he will increase my salary and, with that, he transferred me.
After 1 month, when I asked him for the rent, he didn't pay me the rent. In the second month when I called him, he started shouting and fighting but at last, he paid me for the rent.
Now it has been 3 months and he didn't increase my salary. When I text him, he didn't reply and when I call him, he says that he is in a meeting.
I have a limited-term contract. When I sent my CV to another office for new opportunities, my current employer called me and blackmailed me that he will ban me for 1 year.
I got another job offer double the salary. Can I join?
Hi,
As you told me that you are in a limited contract, therefore, if you will resign before your term period, then he may request MOHRE for a year ban which is not removable.
You have the right to get your agreed contract salary if he doesn't pay, then you may file a complaint to Twafouq by calling 80060. The increment in salary is his discretion because you have already agreed for 2 years' salary.
You can join another employer, then MOHRE companies. Ban may be imposed, so check all this and decide about your job.
Thanks!
