Complaint against employer for entitlements and passport
Hi
I have logged a complaint against my employer yesterday because he refuses to pay my end of service benefits + 2.5 months' salary, neither is he willing to give me any post-dated cheques.
After 48 hours, the legal team from the labour office will call us. I served my notice period with my last day being 6th Oct 2018.
My question is, I have a new job and my joining date was supposed to be 7th Oct, now without cancellation, how do I go about my new job?
My passport and ID are with my present employer.
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.
Firstly, considering that the matter was not amicably settled, the case will be transferred to the labour court and the court will adjudicate the dispute on merits.
Secondly, you can make an application to the labour court to issue a temporary work permit (for 6 months only), which allows you to work legally with another employer. This can be renewed every 6 months.
Lastly, You can make an application to the court to retrieve your passport and ID.
You can get in touch with me on 052-9495731 or email on hari@alnassaradvocates.com for further discussion.
It will be a free consultation so do not hesitate in getting in touch.
Regards,
Hari Wadhwana
