Q: How to calculate indemnity payment? My salary is directly banked into HSBC Bahrain monthly which includes my basic pay, housing allowance and transportation.
The question is if the indemnity payment calculated based on the amount banked into account or only on basic salary?

What is my entitlement for settlement?

Resignation during probation period 0
Good evening, Madam!
I just wanted to ask if I can resign from my work as I'll complete 2 months on Sept. 1.
I like my work but the problem is if I make some mistakes she's shouting at me in front of the customers and we are not getting any holidays here in Bahrain, only we get in the Philippines like Christmas, new year and labor day and we are working 11 hours every day.

Sir
I resigned during my probation period. Can I travel back home?
My passport is with the employer and he's saying he can make my life in trouble and the probation period is only for the employer not for the employee.
Can you please advise me on the solution?

Filing a labor case to claim pending dues 0
I completed my two-year contract in a construction company.
I'd like to change the company because my current company is not paying salaries for the last 5 months and does not allow for a vacation. I got another job and I informed my current employer about that.
The next day they renewed my visa and said to continue here and promised that on July 1st I can go for a vacation and the pending salaries will be paid before that.
But still, they didn't send me and tell me next week. I am waiting for the vacation for the last 2 months. The main thing is that my father is sick in India and I informed them also but still they are doing this.
Two days ago I went to the office to see my manager and ask for my passport and I said I want to continue. He said that we will decide once you come back and promised within two days.
1) If they failed to keep the promise, what action can I take against them? I don't like to continue here anymore.
2) I am worried that if they send me on a vacation, they will cancel my visa. What can I do from India?

What to do to defend a cheque bounce case 0
Hi,
My father is in prison after a cheque bounce case of 1.2 million Bahraini Dinars.
The only reason he was unable to pay this amount of money was due to a reduction in business due to the financial crisis going on.
His case is now being dealt with in the criminal court. In what way can we get him out and clear this mess? And can we apply for bankruptcy now?

limitation period for labor claims in Bahrain 0
Hi there!
What action should I take if my previous employer hasn't settled my final settlement plus my pending salaries prior to my resignation?
When I follow up, they would say that they don't have anything to give. It has already been more than a year since I left the company?
Is there any hope that I could still obtain my dues?
