Claiming entitlements from employer after receiving final settlement
Hi,
We have a previous employee who was terminated last February, and he received his final settlement and his visa expired in April.
Then our previous manager renewed his visa in May for some personal agreement. He didn't report to work from May to July, and by the end of July, he filed a case while the previous manager was outside the country.
He is asking for 3 months' salary & 3 months' arbitrary compensation.
What can our company do?
Dear Sir,
Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.
Please note that we will need complete information from you about this employee's termination and renewal of visa by your manager.
There appears to be a good defence in law considering your employee never reported to work after visa renewal.
You will need to appoint a lawyer to defend your case in order to evade liability or else there will be a judgement against your company and there are chances that the court may impose a travel ban on the manager.
Please get in touch with complete court case information on hari@alnassaradvocates.com or contact on 052-9495731.
Regards,

Dear Questioner,
I believe if what you mentioned is correct, your previous manager acted in bad faith and you have a case against him for mismanagement and taking a decision against the company's best interests.
On the other hand, and in regards to the labour case, your company must present all facts to the court, including receipts of the payment to the final settlement to defend its position.
Best regards,
Ahmed Elnaggar
