I want to terminate my contract but my employer/sponsor wants me to pay 3,500 BD.I think its too much.

Our hospital has no license yet and we have not signed a contract here in bahrain. What we signed was a model contract only,a job order.I asked for the breakdown of the expenses but he will not give me.

i don't know what to do anymore

You should go to the embassy. Since your case is a little complicated, the embassy is bets placed to resolve it for you - they will know how to handle it and ensure you get out of this situation.

LMRA has strict rules and guidelines regarding this. Take all correspondence you have and go visit them. They will help you a lot

Not sure if this would be helpful, but there is a Migrant Workers Protection Society in Bahrain.

Excellent suggestion IndieD. The MWPS does a lot of good work to help out expats in trouble.

The only way to find out if they can help you is to contact them.
Don't be so negative, and don't let things get you down.
Remember there is never a problem, a only solution.

it's easy to do so, options:

1- hire a lawyer will cost u around bd5oo
2- you deal direct with the employer but you have to show guts and threaten him with the authorities ( you can go to the work permits authority) (sho'oun).

I hope this would be helpful, good luck

Dear Ninja,

What i suggest you go with your embassy, you check their if your employer asking 3500 Bhd ask them to submit the bills which they paid FYI, to bring Bahrain,

you take the document which you signed in Filipino, go to LMRA, Discuss if you go their 3 times it wouldn't work either you go to ministry of labour, you explain your problems,

normally in bahrain people never move their assess fast like in other country.

if you need more info, send mail to me blackparoot2003@yahoo.com
