Non settlement of dues by company after arbitrary termination
Q: Assalamu Alaikum, I was transferred to India by my Dubai company on Jan 1, 2019, and was informed that my settlement would be completed prior to leaving as mentioned in their transfer letter. However, they have only given me 50% of the settlement, and have kept the salaries of Jan and Feb pending, which are yet to be paid. By the end of Feb, they suddenly sent me a termination letter and since then, I`ve been following up on my pending settlement as promised, and my pending salaries for 2 months. I need to know what is the course of action I can take here as the company is rarely responding to my emails, and when they do, they just keep giving me false promises. Questions & Answers
