Q: Hi, I have worked in this company for more than 3.5 years, but the company suddenly terminated my employment because no site was running. It has been 20 days since then, and they have not yet canceled my visa or paid my settlement amount.

Q: I am a doctor by profession, and my contract with my company was valid till June 2023. Last year in September 2022, I canceled my company visa to apply for Golden Visa. After stamping my Golden Visa, my company didn't provide me with a new contract. My question is can I continue working without a new contract? Do I have any rights or claim of my unpaid salaries from the court in such a scenario?

Q: I left the company as they terminated me and signed a notice period in a mutual agreement, so my notice period started on 07 Feb until 07 March 2023. The cash is short at that time from three ledgers. I was handling other accountants' work as they are on leave so it was mismanaged at that time. I cleared the short cash on my last day and the remaining is to be settled from my EOSB balance as per management decision. So after 17 March 2023, they sent me a message also that your settlement is ready. Now after 40 days, they changed their mind and now they don't want to give me my EOSB. On Friday I filed a complaint to MOHRE regarding my passport and EOSB. We both received a message from MOHRE to settle. On Monday, the company as a reaction launched a breach of trust complaint at the police (Khianat Amanat) against me. What can I do as Eid is near and my family is here? I have to go back as I am jobless for 50 days. Please help, this is the whole story.
