An employer refuses to release the labor dues until the employee agrees to his terms
I have been working for a private company (mainland) for 2 and a half years. My contract now is a renewed limited contract. I have resigned.
I have given my company the notice period mentioned in the contract and committed to the penalty for early termination.
According to MOHRE Reply to my email, I am entitled to a gratuity along with the rest of the final settlement as this is a RENEWED limited contract.
My employer intends to do the following:
1- Review all my attendance during the past two and a half years and impose penalties on me accordingly.
2- Not to give me my gratuity or final settlement until I agree to his terms.
3- Not to give me my passport until I agree to his terms.
4- I am afraid if I report them for keeping the passport, they will just deny that they have it.
How do I fight this without prolonging it?
Please help me!
Also note: I am already discussing another offer so I want to solve this quickly. How do I work for another company while fighting this?
Dear questioner,
To start with, in any kind of contracts; whether they are limited or unlimited contracts, renewed or not, you can resign as long as you give them the notice period.
They have to give you your gratuity and your passport or else you should submit a complaint against them at the ministry of labor.
They will end up negotiating with you so you dismiss the case.
In this case, a lawsuit must be filed against the company to demand your labor dues.
Kindly contact us via phone for further assistance.
