Asking an employee to work till visa expiry while the contract is already expired
My work permit and labour contract expired on 06/04/2021 and my visa expires on 09/06/2021.
I have to move to a new opportunity but my employer wants me to work till the visa expiry i.e. 09/06/2021.
My prospective employer is not agreeing to such a delay.
What is the remedy available to me in this case?
Dear Questioner,
Do you have a limited or unlimited contract?
In fact, it looks that, as the contract is already expired and it is not automatically renewed then as per regulations, you may transfer to a new employer and if you are able to get a better salary then your legal position is stronger.
You may request them to cancel your visa and settle your dues if any. You may also approach the ministry of labor to redress your issue.
Please feel free to contact us in case you need more assistance.
Shakeel!
