My employer refused to give me my full indemnity for six year of service. What can I do?

Hello,

It’s been a month since I left my company in Bahrain. I worked for more than 6 years.

My employer refused to give me my indemnity in full and only gave me a very little amount as advanced.

When I checked with the accountant, he keep telling me that company doesn’t have money.

My ex-colleague who filed a case against him regarding indemnity told me that he got his money after 1 year and 6 months.

I feel frustrated, helpless, and threatened that I will fall into the same scenario.

Could you give me advice, please?

If the employer will not pay you amicably, you have to raise a case.

But keep in mind that the case must be raised within one year of your termination date or your claim will be time-barred (rejected).
