I stand as a guarantor for my friend. Am I liable for his bank loan?
0
Q: I kindly require legal advice.
I have a close family member who has multiple loans in the amount of BD 19,000. He was unemployed and the banks threatened him with legal action. He came to me and confirmed he is set to start at a new job and will be able to pay for his loans, BUT needed me to sign as his guarantor so the banks would refinance his loans. Due to the close relation, I agreed.
I later learned he never paid a single instalment and also resigned from his job. Now the banks have taken legal action against me. It seems he is unwilling to cooperate with the banks.
How can I get out of this mess? A response is highly appreciated.

I have a case going on with a company for not paying my indemnity. I have won the case but the employer still hasn't paid.
The execution court now has accepted to block the shares of the employer company with the ministry of commerce and the commercial registration will be affected.
Please advise

Resignation during probation period 0
Good evening, Madam!
I just wanted to ask if I can resign from my work as I'll complete 2 months on Sept. 1.
I like my work but the problem is if I make some mistakes she's shouting at me in front of the customers and we are not getting any holidays here in Bahrain, only we get in the Philippines like Christmas, new year and labor day and we are working 11 hours every day.

Resignation during probation period and holding passport 0
Sir
I resigned during my probation period. Can I travel back home?
My passport is with the employer and he's saying he can make my life in trouble and the probation period is only for the employer not for the employee.
Can you please advise me on the solution?

I would like to ask a question.
The employer terminated me in compliance with the notice period as per the agreement but without prior written warnings.

Should my employer provide me with air ticket if I don't leave Bahrain upon resignation? 0
Hi,
I'm working in Bahrain, I already submitted my resignation & was accepted by my employer.
However, my employer declined to provide my one-way ticket to my home country due to the fact that I was locally hired.
Kindly advise if the company is obliged to pay to the employee the cost of the air ticket back to my home country upon my resignation.

How can an employee get his dues upon resignation? 0
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?
