Visa and offer letter

Hello, my friend works at the clinic. Her employer (doctor of the clinic) sent her offer, and she signed it, but she never signed the agreement. The initial deal was that she gets a visa then license for beauty therapist.

The doctor was forcing her to do procedures without the license, on top sexually harassed her by touching and sending some texts over whatsapp. She wants to quit the job as she is under stress and not willing to work in that environment.

Now the doctor says she has to cover all costs for visa etc. Is there a way to avoid that? What are her rights and what she has to do? Pls advise.

Hello,

Her offer letter must be submitted to the Ministry of Labour (MOL). She needs to go in person to check if whether she has any labour contract in place or not. If there is an agreement she has to wait for 6 months to resign if she does not want a ban.

However she can leave any moment, just lodge a complaint in the MOL.
