إنهاء الخدمة بسبب عدم الحاجة إلى العامل

عزيزي السيد هارى،

أود أن أطلب نصيحتك.

لقد أنهيت خدمتي (أنا على عقد غير محدد المدة) بسبب عدم الحاجة إلي في سبتمبر 2017 (منذ سنة ماضية).

وبما أن ابني على كفالتي ويدرس في مدرسة في دبي، فقد طلبت منهم عدم إلغاء التأشيرة حتى تنتهي صلاحيتها.

وافقت الشركة على ذلك بسبب الوضع المالي السيئ وعدم القدرة على دفع مستحقاتي "مكافأة نهاية الخدمة" في هذا الوقت.

كانوا يدفعون بعض المبالغ المستحقة عن بدل الإجازة السنوية وبدل التذاكر السنوية كل شهرين أو ثلاثة.

ألغيت تأشيرة العمل الخاصة بي بالكامل في أكتوبر 2018، ومرة أخرى وبسبب الوضع المالي السيئ، لم تكن الشركة قادرة على دفع مكافأة نهاية الخدمة في هذا الوقت، لذلك أعطتني شيكات مؤجلة الدفع.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.

At the outset, I would like to state that your termination was wrongful and arbitrary as the reason of redundancy is not legal as per the labour law.

However, since one year has expired, your right to file a labour dispute is barred.

However, since your employment visa was cancelled on October 2018, there is some room for an argument that you are entitled to your claims but the same will be adjudicated in the court of law.

It is a good thing that you have received PDC as that has some security of payment rather than nothing.

You have two options now:

1- Exit the country and come back to deposit the PDC as and when dated, or

2- Apply for a 6-month visa for searching for a new employment and thereafter deposit the PDC as and when dated.

I trust you will find this helpful.

You can get in touch with me on hari.wadhwana@gmail.com or 052-9495731 for further assistance.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana

The main point in all these is that I was not aware that the company should pay me a back-way ticket + 3 months' salary. Until now, I couldn't encash the cheque due to "no funds in the account".

I called the MOHRE to check my rights about the back-way air ticket and 3 months' salary.

The customer service representative told me after checking my documents in their system that it will be a bit difficult to claim these benefits.

The reason is that my labour card expired in Sept 2018 and actual cancellation happened in October 2018.

He told me that will request their legal adviser to study my case and call me back within 48 hours.

But I want to take your opinion too if I have a right to claim these benefits in spite of the info given by the call centre representative.

Thanking you in advance.

Dear Raisa,

As explained in my previous email, the major issue lies in that you were terminated in Sept 2017 and it's been over a year.

This means that your labour claims are barred and the court may not entertain any requests now.

However, if the MOHRE and thereafter Labour Court accepts your case, then you can claim your return ticket, 3 months salary and gratuity payments before the Court.

The hindrance lies only with the one-year limitation period as explained.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana
