Greetings to you!

What can I do in order to get my jewelry back to me since the person who got it, is not paying based on the verbal agreement? A lot of excuses. Can I sue her for not paying if she will not return it to me?

Dear Yousef

In Saudi Arabia, before 6 months one guy was giving me a side with his car. I was with my family and 6 months old son. I panicked and did verbal abuse. After that the guy hit my car from back and started following me.

Now we have a case in court. So I need to know is there any wrong doing on me? If yes what is punishment of verbal abuse specially when some one poked me.

Hi,
I was working as a full time employee and recently I was terminated (mentioned as terming contract based on mutual agreement). My employer sent me an email with details of end of service benefits and deductions and I was surprised to find that they deducted the Education allowance which was provided for my kids education (deduction was on prorated basis) and they also deducted some amount as government fees (iqama fee).

Kindly advise me if this is legal?

Can the employee deduct the allowances?

Dear Sir,

I have a question. You can reply me at your convenience.

A = Employer
B = Employ

If B filed a case against A for some reason like EOSB not given to B, and B case reaches somehow to the MOJ (in B favor).

In the meantime, A sales out his company to other, then who will be held responsible for B's case ? (Not bankrupt just sold out)

Can A prolong the case and gain benefit out of this situation ? Will court prolong the case and it goes negative in B's part ?

Hope I was clear in my question and didn't leave any confusion.

Thanks,

Dear Sir,

I am working in a company for 9 Years. Last contract Which I signed with my company is on 01/Sep/2017 and contract period is for one year (up to 31/Aug/2018).

As our company's contract with our client is not confirmed, In Last May 2018, We received an "End Of Contract" email from HR department and to serve notice period for 1 month. As the need arises from the company side , the HR department send another email to rejoin the duty from June 2018 to work for the Summer term only.

Since June 2018 until today (December 2018), no new contract has been issued from the company side for the period starting from 01/Sep/2018.(Means,We are working without contract until today).

In this situation, If an employee resigns from his job what will be his ESB Calculation? Whether he will get his full benefits for 9 years? or 2/3 of his benefits? Please clarify.

Hi Yousuf, my employer is not giving me a transfer I came this company on my own visa but still he refused and has already deducted my one month salary and end of service award because I didn't complete 3 month notice period because new employer wanted me in a month, I talk to my immidiate manager before resignation then he told me just deduct my salary and i can go anywhere but now ny employer is not accepting my transfer request.

Please suggest me Where I am standing and what should I do legally?

Thanks

Yes I did signed buymt every detail of what I wrote there has an open and close parenthesis .stating that I just signed coz I was being force to sign. Which is really they did. After that I was being transferred to another branch and when I started to work there I  run away from my company and when I surrendered they accused me that I stole the sales money of that branch.

Someone took money from me 4 years back for some business purpose & he was paying me some profit. However, as i needed my money back I requested him to return the money 2 years back and since than he has not shared any profit nor is he returning the principal amount. The money he owes me is around SR 20,000.

I intend to complain him to Police but need to know how to do that. While I also wish to know the pros & cons of it.

Thanks,

Dear Youssef,

I am have been working in saudi since 6 years on 27th January 2019 my contract finished and I already applied for final exit and company has already processed for it , but I haven't received any money I have also 5 months salary pending , my exit visa would expire on 23rd April I would like to get your advice on below 2 cases

Case 1:

If my company doesn't give money by 23rd April 2019 and if i submit case against my company , is there any option/facility  from labor court by which i can work in saudi till my case goes on something like temporary work permit  or work permit for 1 year or if i get offer from any other company can they renew my iqama and transfer on their sponsor

Case 2:

If my company doesn't give money by 23rd April 2019 and if i submit case against my company , but in this case if i don't want to stay in saudi and go back to my native country , is it possible to authorize someone or in that case the lawyer himself and does it affect the outcome or the time span of the case being solved.

hi, how are you? I want to know what if Saudi company is not paying you dues is it possible to hire a separate lawyer and file case in court or only we have to go through labor court procedure?

Dear Mr. Yossef
I'm glad to read your kind intentions to help people out there in need.
My sponsor is azmeel contracting, a construction company who failed to pay the salaries of employees working under their sponsorship.
What can be done?
To claim the remaining settlement amount?

I've come to know many cases earlier where the court has given its verdict in favour of the employee, but still the employer is not paying the salaries even after months of follow up.

Thanx

1. Started working here jan 2011.I completed my 8yrs here this last feb2019
* My vacations== first was feb2014 40days
*I got 1mnth salary(back pay) when i came back march2014*

                My 2nd was jan2017 40days
I and got my 1month salary(back pay) when i came back feb2017

This 2019 of january i completed my 8 yrs. Unfortunately surprisingly she sell the center and all the employees without us knowing.

We signed as well as thumbs mark on arabic letters without knowing what stated on that paper. She ensisted it was for baladiya.

Me and other 2 colleagues working for 20 yrs now asked or EOSB but she confidently hardly not giving it as she insisted that the center was bankrupt which not true at all.

My question is how do we get our EOSB if she hardly not giving it and the one that we signed maybe stated there that we recieve the amount or something like that so that if ever we complain will be useless.

Kindly tell us how the procedure we have to make🙏 your magic help waiting here. Thanks for helping to all in needs  here in this forum.

Salam Sir,

I am a Malaysian working for Malaysian Consulate (Tourism section) since 2000 until to date. I was appointed by the Minister of Tourism to open an office in Jeddah.

From 200-2003 , I was under contract from Malaysia and later they confirmed me to be the permanent local staff.

2 days ago my Director told me that my Headoffice planned to end my service by this December 2019. When I checked with Headoffice, it was The Director decision to terminate my service.

Is there any other way I can fight for my rights.

Thank you Sir.

Hello dear yousef

I have a case in labor court since 1 year and the first decision was exit visa and give me my money, now I passed by again to follow up but they said where were me for 1 year

Question : if they decided to give me exit visa means they will put band for me 3 years not allowed to come back or no ?

greetings,

i would like to seek an advised , i got new offer , at first my company allow me for transfer and i submit my resignation in the last stage my company did not approved my transfer due to conflict of interest, i explained to my company  that i will work in a client side as per the saudi labor law
" Article (٨٣):
If the work assigned to the worker allows him to get acquainted with the employer's customers, or to have access to his business secrets, the employer may require the worker in the contract not to compete with him or reveal his secrets upon expiration of the contract. For this condition to be valid, it shall be in writing and specific in terms of time, place and type of work and to the extent required to protect the legitimate interests of the employer. In all cases, the duration of such agreement shall not exceed two years from the date of termination of the relationship between the two parties.

Sir when people strike because delayed wages, is it paid to Saudi labor law? What should we do to our employer if we do not give my 8 month salary and benefits? My contact is over sir i need your advice, thanks...

Dear Sir - A valuable service that required by everyone. So thankful to you. I filed a case with labor office then to Dammam courts due to non receipt of salaries and benefits. Judge given verdict that company has to pay got "winning" document too. My former company has to pay my dues by 30/04/2019 but still not credited. Then via electronic services (Absher) I posted the case and now what should I do. how long will it take to that company to pay my all dues. Pls. advise me.

Dear Sir,
I believe I've been swindled by 2 individuals whom I paid money to be employed and transfer my sponsorship.  What shall I do, I have no more money to even pay for my food and no place to live as I move from one city to another.
Sincerely
Jose

Hi sir. I need some legal advice from you that one of my friend working in riyadh his kafil make a case for financial implementation of 13000 sr this case just only filed and status showing as under consideration .what we have to do for this case how long it will take to finalise and is there any way to make speedy process. Kindly need your advice

Possibly if the case is genuine then he'll have to repay the kafeel within 5 days.

Check the resolutions implementation such as 34 , 46, etc etc. Until u pay the debt,. U can't get exit re entry or open any other bank account or money transfer services.

If u fail to pay back for a Long time then u may Also get imprisoned for time until u pay him debt.

Dear sir

He is ready to pay and already inform many time to company but company file application for case and now case status showing under process. Can you advise me that how can I pay to court at the earliest because case still under process and don't know when I get order to pay the amount. Is there is any way to process speedily this issue in court. They file case in riyadh executive court. I get notification from moj on 04.08.2019 and after that no notification received and when I checked with company they are saying on process so how long I have to wait for this case. Bond amount is mention in case is 13000. Please suggest me the way to finalise speedly. In my absher account nothing showing about this case so still there is problem for traveling or not.

U have to pay through sadad if there's a payment invoice generated.

Company just make an application in the court for this case and status showing under process that's why I asked how long this process will take and is there is any way to speedup the process so I can pay immediately. Also want to know if any case under consideration and not yet make final execution till now is this will not allow us to go for exit re entry from ksa. Because in my absher there is nothing showing as travel ban or any issues but only showing in moj this court case under process. Kindly advice me

Dear the process is very short. If u got any invoice number in your sms for the amount of 13000, you have to pay thru sadad. Pls cross check once with your company PR (saudi national).

Also search for MOJ excel enquiry on Google nd open first link. Enter your iqama no. Date of birth and all and then u will get sms on ur phone. Then you can check case status.
It might show you there that invoice has been generated and invoice number will appear there.  Enter that invoice# in sadad and make payment.

As per my knowledge, the payment shall be made within 5 days of invoice creation date.

Its not a lengthy process. You can also tweet to MoJ for any help.

I checked but status is under consideration and case type showing human rights and case showing execute an order. Court is executive court Riyadh. Bond amount showing 13000 and prof is commercial bills. This much details only I got. Sponsor make case for company and total 3 parties 1 company 2 kafil 3 me. This is same case like financial implementation right?
