How can an employee get his dues upon resignation?

Hi! Good Day!

I hope everyone is well.

I just want to ask something about my situation here in Bahrain.

I finished my 2 years' contract here last April 15, 2021. The company where I used to work asked me whether I want to renew my contract, I said yes, but I want to take my 2 months vacation. We had an agreement only verbally, no letters or anything, just verbal agreement.

So they renew my visa and I wait for my ticket. But 1 month later, there was no vacation. I waited again, but there is no ticket.

So I decided to resign for the 2nd time. My resignation letter is dated September 15, 2021, in which my last day of work is October 16. I waited for my ticket.

I stopped working now but I'm still here in Bahrain. Also, they made a new contract but I didn't sign it.

Is there anything I can do so I can go back to my country and also get indemnity?

Dear Jaber,

This is Hawra Abdulwahab from Abdulwahab Attorneys & Legal Consultants.

Employees, in general, are entitled to 30 days annual leave for each year of service under Bahrain's Private Sector Labour Law.

Also, upon termination/resignation, they are entitled to leaving indemnity and a one-way ticket to their country of origin.

However, in order to best advise you on your entitlements and your best options going forward, we will need to review your contract of employment, your resignation letter and also get further details.

Please contact us via phone or email for further assistance.
