الضغط غير القانوني على الموظف واحتجاز صاحب العمل لجواز سفره

السادة المحامون،

ينتهي عقد عملي البالغ عامين في 12 يونيو 2023. تقدمت بطلب إجازة زواج من 1 مارس إلى 10 أبريل، والعودة في 11 أبريل، لكن الإدارة رفضت طلبي بسبب مدة العقد، على الرغم من أن لدي 20 يومًا من الإجازة المدفوعة متبقية.

تضغط الإدارة عليّ الآن لتجديد عقدي والذهاب في إجازة أو الاستقالة من الوظيفة حتى يتمكنوا من إيجاد بديل.

كما أنهم يحتجزون جواز سفري.

يرجى تقديم المشورة!

Dear questioner,

It is illegal for your employer to keep your passport.

In fact, employers in the UAE who withhold workers' passports can be jailed and fined up to 20,000 dirhams.

If your employer keeps your passport and refuses to return it to you, you can go to the nearest police station, or you can go to your embassy in the country to file a complaint.

Please be aware that you have all the necessary rights and privileges to have your own passport and you have all the rights to question your employer if your employer insists on keeping it with him.

I hope what I mentioned above makes the point you are asking about for help!

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