Hello
I am faced with a peculiar situation. I had an employee who resigned in June 2018 and was to join a new company in July. However, when he reported for duty on 1 July 2018, the (new) company informed him that they did not have an opening for him any longer.
I have been speaking to him for a while now asking him to find a job so that he can transfer to the new company. He has been unable to find a job to date and remains under my company's visa.
Now I find myself in a bind as he continues to be on my company visa. I have been informed that if I cancel his visa, I stand to lose the visa, which I cant afford to do.
I do need the visa back as I intend to recruit a new staff member but am not sure how to go about it. I checked with a few people and I have been informed that if I cancel his visa while he is in Bahrain, i will lose the visa. To add to this, I have been paying his GOSI and LMRA fees every month...
Can someone advise me on how to resolve this issue? Can I file a complaint at the Ministry of Labor or LMRA to resolve this issue?
