How do I resolve a year-long pending police complaint to lift the travel ban?
Q: Hello, I need help! A year ago, my previous employer filed a complaint at the police station accusing me of abuse. He did this because I had taken him to the labor court for not paying my salary. The labor court case was resolved, and I received my salary. However, the police complaint is still pending. Initially, the police took my statement and informed me to wait for a court summons. It has now been a year, and I have not received any summons. The case is still under police investigation. They have also informed me that there is a travel ban against me. How can I remove this case from the police station?

Unpaid for 5 months: Should I leave immediately or file a complaint with MOHRE?
Q: Good day! I would like to seek advice regarding my situation. I am currently employed by a Freezone company under a limited contract valid until October 2024. The issue is that they haven’t paid our salaries for 5 months (since February 2024). We have been receiving monthly promises that they will pay and settle the amounts, but we haven`t received anything. I tried talking to the management and sent them emails, and they again promised that they will settle everything in 2 months. I want to know my rights and if it is possible to leave without the notice period since they are already in breach of contract. Additionally, is it better to complain to MOHRE immediately before my resignation, or should I wait for the 2 months they promised? Thank you for the insights!+3
