The reason you did not get any answer is probably because everyone believes its of no use and the decision will go in favor of local employer, the only remedy you will get is a exit.

my cousins's sponsor labeleld him as ran away, he filed a complaint in (Imaara, Ameer's office) they treated him like local, he faced the Ameer, but the secretary told him not to open your mouth, Ameer saw the documents and write to name of Maktab Amal (as per system) after several months end of story with his exit, what he benefited from it he was able to receive his final rights.

somehow yes it will go in favor of local employer. why ? because the ministry/court will say to the employee and emploer that sit and settle the case, and definitely employer will say to employee that you drag me here, now you have to go.

Long story short, you only go to MOL to register a complaint when you have decided that this is it for you in KSA. 99.9% cases I have come across have been disasters for the people who filed a complaint. End of the day you are an expatriate in KSA where locals have higher rights and will be given 10 times more preference than you.

Even if the outcome is in your favor, you will be leaving the country sooner or later becuase of it. So it is advised in general cases to sort out the disputes outside MOL. Because once you file the complaint, you do not know how long you will have to wait. You will neither be allowed to work nor leave the country unless there is an outcome. A very simple trend followed by the locals is to skip the hearing dates in MOL and keep you waiting and force you to take your complaint back. You will waste your money, time and efforts for nothing.

as per Nitagat law, you have the right to apply for work in other companies that are in the highest Nitaqat category. your employer can not say no to that. Good luck.

A friend of mine had some issues with his employer. One day on a fine morning all of a sudden employer gave passport and ticket to his country. He was shocked and not prepared obviously... so he went to Ministry office and filed a complaint, after li'l more than 6 months he got his final rights and compensation of 100k Riyals..
Note: he was Egyptian and all I know is he regularly visited the place where he was called on given date by ministry.

It is ok if your employer force you to another job that is not stated in your contract,for example you are a nurse in a clinic and that clinic sent you as company nurse in 1 compnay as rental,and without increase...it is legal???

Regardless of all comments, I will start from the last sentence you said "if you have experienced to be Martin Luther king"

Unfortunately, all comments are based on SAYING, STEREOTYPING, wrong information, etc.

From my experience as a Saudi Licensed attorney I believe that employees always give up their rights based on saying!!! (like the comments above) which is 100% wrong info.

Filing a complaint/case at MOL is like filing any case in any court where you need to submit a memo including the topic of your case, evidence and lastly your claims. Meanwhile, when filing a complaint, do not expect the judgment will be released within days or weeks, it will take months going through three stages. However, many people do not know if you file a proper case and your company stopped paying you for any reason, you legally still find another employer and work with him until the end of your case.

Moreover, Some people believe the judgments always on the company or local favor which is totally not correct because the judgment's favor will be for the one who submit proper claims with the supporting evidence regardless of the parties.

If you have claims with no evidence such as paper, mails, contracts, etc, how do you think you will win the case. ( no claims' evidence no favoring judgment)

I hope my answer helped you all for your future reference.

Define 'force''. Did your manager physically dragged you out of the clinic to another place? Were you threatened physical or verbally? If yes, leave.

If not, It is legal.

Your company as a business will have their own hospitals and clinics. Other than having their own business they also enter into contracting the medical and health requirements of another company. This means, that Company Y (your company) was hired by Company X to provide medical and health services in their location. This is called customer centric/customer care, the patients will no longer go to your clinic/hospital because your company will have a clinic in their office (CompanyX). It's called one stop shop.

But you should request for allowance if you think you are entitled.

Broaden up your mind. Inside the biggest telecom complex in Riyadh, you will find travel agencies, banks, clinics, restaurants, Donuts, cafe shops, insurance companies etc. The employees of this biggest telecom don't have to go out of the complex, they only go the building where there are restaurants, travel agencies, clinics, banks to do business. Also government branches example MOI office is inside the complex.

Sir my employer has given me a hint that he will demote me and my salary on the basis of my work. But what I feel is that he is just trying to cut my salary so that I work for less money giving me various reasons about my work. And he says that if you agree to work with us with this new salary or else leave but paying atleast 8000 riyal.

Dear Mr. Yossef,
I am Iqbal Akhter, Indian national and on engineer's visa.
Below are the details of my case on which I need your suggestions if you could provide.
I worked in Dammam for a company from July 2016 to October 2017-
1) My employer holds my money that includes-
a) 2016 to 2017 clearances-(21 days paid leave compensation + Air Fare)
b) My September Basic Slary- Only paid housing allowance
c) 2 Months paid notice compensation-(Denied verbally)
d) My Contract Clearance that sums-For working 1.25 Years i.e. 15 months
e) My October 2017 salary-(12 days not paid)
f) Final fuel Invoices- (Not paid)
2) I am terminated from job with a 7 days notice instead of 60 days notice. (My signed contract & Saudi Labor Law violated/ letter received on 05-10-17 stating that last working day is 12-10-17))
3) I have handed over all the company's properties and received confirmation through mail and demanded for accounts statement to be sent for transfer the money but after several reminder they are asking me to visit Riyadh office which is not required. (They also send message to me unofficially that I must take whatever they give and they will not give me 60 days notice amount, So, they want me to go Riyadh office and sign for what they want)
4) They put me in Huroob- Confirmed through a call yesterday from Dammam project office unofficially, I checked online and found it correct. (Even if I contacted them ladt on 16-10-17 through mail.asking for my final account settlement, they put me under ahuroob on 22-10-17)
My visa ends on 22/03/1439 (11-12-2017)
I have all documents, communication mails as a proof to provide if needed.

I am a local transfer from another employer and this company did not bring me from India. I do not want any transfer and will go back to India after getting cleared from all these.
Now please advise me what steps shall I take to come out of the situation and recover my money from the employer. Whether I shall go to ministry of labor as I have Huroob or I shall go for legal case filing? Will it be economical?
Most important thing, can the employee claim for a compensation for the waiting time and torture untill case settles?

Will really appreciate if you could answer..

Regards
Iqbal Akhter

From my experience the system works very well. You will get your case heard. All what they do is give you a letter for your sponsor to appear for hearing. If he is at fault that itself will give you what you want. So I encourage you to go ahead and seek assistance at Labor. I feel sorry for some negative responses. People go by hearsay, the best thing to do is experience yourself.
