Asking an employee to pay for visa costs to get his passport after resignation

Hello,

My employer doesn't pay my salary on time. I had personal problems, stress, and migraine. When I had to go to a hospital, I didn't have money for that so I took 2 days off after informing HR and the manager.

The next day I managed to get money from friends and went to the hospital. After that, I took a medical certificate and urgent resignation letter because of mental stress.

They asked me to pay for the visa so I can take my passport. Of course, I don't have money and didn't get 1 month's salary. Now they filed absconding against me.

What should I do?

And I was on a 6 months probation period. This thing happened after 3 months.

Hello to you,

We wish you a speedy recovery!

First, you can remove the escape report and remove his guilt with the sick certificate, and you can resign because of your mental stress.

Also, the full recruitment expenses fall on the sponsor, and you can file a complaint to get your dues.

The worker can submit a complaint to the Ministry of Labor over the phone or the website.
