Claiming outstanding salary after termination in probation period
Hello Sir.
I am Dr Parag Pitti, a General Dentist.
The clinic where I was working before, terminated me in my probation period without giving me any notice and then asked me for my passport for visa cancellation.
Since it was my probation, I accepted the termination but asked for salary for the days I worked with them. They said they will give me the final settlement and asked me to give my passport for visa cancellation.
Now, they have cancelled the visa but I haven’t received the salary. What should I do?
Dear Mr Parag,
I hope you are fine.
Further to your query, kindly be informed that you have the right to ask for your complete salary for the period served.
Towards this end, you can either file by yourself a complaint with the Ministry of Labour or can provide us with a power of attorney in order to enable us to follow up your case with the Ministry.
Furthermore, you can also make a request to the Ministry for not cancelling your visa, until and unless all your dues are cleared by the employer.
I hope the above is clear to you. Should you have any further question or would like us to follow up with your case, kindly feel free to contact us at info@awsuwaidi-advocates.com or alternatively you can call us at 045547635.
Best regards,
Aws M. Younis
