Arbitrary dismissal and calculation of the compensation
Q: I believe I have a strong case of arbitrary dismissal. I understand from article 115 of Labor Law that if this is the case my employer is bound to compensate me for a maximum of 3 months total wages. My questions are: 1) By using the word maximum does that mean they can pay less than 3 months? 2) My contracted monthly pay is split into two parts: basic and allowance. Could they argue I am only entitled to 3 months basic pay and not the total amount?

Travel ban check after withdrawing a job offer
Q: Hello, Please, I need to check travel ban on my passport, but I saw that you asked for a valid passport and my passport will be expired on September 2018 is it ok? Also, I need to speak about my problem, and please, I need an advice. I was supposed to be hired by a medical centre recently, but after they took all my confidential documents and invited me to training sessions too, suddenly without a reason they told we withdraw the offer!! So I criticized their hiring issue on google and they made a case against me for that, although I just explained the incident and didn`t mention names or bad words or anything. Now, I don`t know what to do and totally lost as I didn`t know if I wrote my experience which was very unfair and harming for me so I can be sued for it... Please help!Jun 27, 2018
