Issuing a work ban against an employee due to joining another company?
Dear sir/madam,
I have been working as an accountant in a private company since October 30, 2019. The company visa was issued on 20th March 2020 and I had a 2-year unlimited contract.
My visa will expire on 20th March 2022. I got a new job offer and they asked me to join after 18 days and accordingly, I submitted 18 days notice period and on November 1, 2021, I signed the offer letter of the new company.
The resignation was submitted via email on November 2 and a hard copy was also submitted to HR. On November 6, my company owner called me and told me that I would not be allowed to go and if I am trying to go, he will ban me for 5 years.
Dear,
The owner is wrong!
You can go and he couldn't do anything.
Your mistake is you should give the company one month notice not only 18 days, however, as per the labor law, you are entitled to pay the company the rest of the notice which are 12 days, at the same time, the old company needs to settle your rights whatsoever.
For more details, please text me on WhatsApp.
Thank you!
Ahmed
