Claiming pending salary and EOS benefits after visa cancellation
I want to know what are chances to get my pending salary and EOS benefits. I was working in a company based in JAFZA. The company was delaying the salary 2-3 months.
I started searching for a job and found a new one in DOHA-Qatar. I properly handed over and resigned.
They told me that the company doesn’t have money and they asked me to leave and join the new company without cancelling my visa.
They promised me that they will transfer my pending salary and EOS benefits once the company has money.
Later they refused to give me after sending many follow up emails. They cancelled my visa by saying I didn't come back form vacation.
Dear Questioner,
Good afternoon.
Thank you so much for contacting online.
Even though your visa was cancelled by the company, you have the right to approach the authority for labour disputes in JAFZA for your pending salaries and also for the end of service benefits, and the employer will be called for by the authority.
If it's not settled from there, the matter will be referred to the labour court. At that time, even if you want to join the job in Doha, you can give a POA authorizing someone or a lawyer to do the necessary things for and on behalf of you.
Please feel free to contact me at 0556635526 or Whatsapp me at 0508575526 if you need any further assistance or clarification.
Regards,
Anitha Rajeev
