How to act against delay of hiring process and threatening to bear overstay penalty

Hi,

I am a female physiotherapist and I got a job offer from my facility on October 15th 2020, after which they delayed the medical licensing process until February.

I got my licence activated under their facility on February 21st 2021 and again they delayed the joining process and they asked me to cancel my visa (spouse) on March 21st 2021.

My grace period will expire tomorrow and they want me to take a visit visa now or they will cut the penalty from my future salary. What am I supposed to do?

Also, I am not willing to pay a penalty as it's not my fault and a visit visa can't be taken as my husband has already lost his job.

Please give me an advice.

Hi

This requires compensation for damages caused to the other party.

The organization that submitted the job offer is obligated to issue a new one.

The salary deduction law may be requested except in one case, which is that the employee issues a right entitled to a right, the institution.

# Advice :

- That you issue a judicial notice (legal notice) that the institution must issue a work visa, or bear the renewal of the visa until the residency procedures are completed.

- In case of any delay in that, you will resort to the court and claim compensation.

- A warning to the Corporation not to deduct any amount from the salary for violating that law, and that any breach will have the right to you to sue the Corporation and demand a refund of the deduction and compensation amounts.
