يحتفظ صاحب العمل السابق بجواز السفر ومكافأة نهاية الخدمة. ماذا أفعل؟

سيدي/سيدتي،

لقد ألغى صاحب العمل السابق تأشيرتي بالفعل وقد تلقيت أيضًا خطاب عرض من شركة جديدة.

لا تزال شركتي السابقة تحتفظ بجواز سفري والتسوية النهائية. أحتاج إلى جواز سفري الأصلي لتقديمه إلى الشركة الجديدة لبدء عملية تأشيرة العمل ولكن الشركة السابقة ترفض إعادة جواز سفري ودفع أموال التسوية أيضًا.

تقول الشركة إنني بحاجة إلى تغيير حالة تأشيرتي أولاً وبعد ذلك فقط سيعيدون جواز سفري.

هل يمكنك من فضلك توجيهي بشأن ما إذا كان يُسمح لهم بحجز جواز سفري على الرغم من أنني قدمت بالفعل خطاب عرض لصاحب العمل السابق؟

Dear questioner,

They do not have the right to keep your passport in any way. You can report it and you will get your passport for the settlement.

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

All entitlements must be accounted for (overdue salaries, vacations, end-of-service benefits, airline tickets for him and his family, compensation for unfair dismissal, and any other entitlements according to the contract).

The matter is presented for settlement before the employee of the ministry, and if it is not resolved, the file is referred to the court, and a session is set for its consideration before the judge.

After the ruling, an implementation file is opened to collect the amount.

There are many actions that can be taken against the company to enforce the judgment.

Hi,

As per the law, your previous employer can not keep any of your legal documents.

You need to file a complaint in MOHRE.
