Resign because of Salary cut

brionfield
By brionfield

I want to resign to my present job because, only Job offer I have. I finished 3 months probationary period according to job offer.
My Question is, if I resign to the Company, do I have to pay him his expenses when he brought me here, and also he gave a basic salary less for almost 1,000 QR a month as a part of trainee as he said, and also a salary cut of 2 to 3 days as part of disciplinary action.
What will I do Please send me some advice???? Only I want now is to go home only for ticket expense

He will not let you go, even emergency leave It didn't help

I sign the payslip and also got the copy. In case the Labour will give me a letter to be send to the company, that I will not pay anything to him just only my ticket, that is enough for me

and the 3000 is in the contract as well? did you sign for your salary each month? Do you have proof he only paid you 1000?

If so, you can indeed go to the labour department but here is what you may face. You may be held in the deportation center until this is sorted because as soon as your sponsor learns you will complain they will generally hand you over to CID (I assume he is holding your passport, which by the new articles in the labour law is illegal).

Go speak to your embassy, if you have all this in order perhaps they can mediate before it gets to this point.

I don't have contract, I have only job offer signed and stamped by the Co. and even pataka

Mr. Amoud, yes I have the copy, signed and stamped by the Company, my employer is non Qatari, only his Sponsor, also true that 3000 said in the job offer

By Amoud• 5 Nov 2009 08:40
Amoud

Brion, do you haved an offer letter signed by the company that you received before you came? What does your contract say? does your contract say 3000?

How should I pay, It is very clear in my Job offer that I will get 3000 and it didn't said that I have to pay him in case I will resign. Do you think Job offer is valuable. I'm not seeking to return to me the cut he gives me, only to go without paying him is enough, can I go to the Labour, but first I will go to my embassy to seek some advice

I don't have a contract here in Qatar, but I have the copy of Job offer, only now is, I want to go home, with my expense, it's no problem, but if I have to pay him, it will cause me a lot of trouble. Is there anyone knows Qatar Labour Law, regarding misleading the employee from a Job offer

By Amoud• 5 Nov 2009 08:30
Amoud

Syed, the ticket cost should not be provided by the employer in all cases, that is just insane. If there is no breach of contract and the employee just wants to go home how is the employer compensated for his loss of recruitment of that employee and the cost of replacing him?

.....but, I have to agree with the gals on this one. Seems the sponsor is a bit of a wank and has not honored his salary obligations. If this employee received warning letters before his salary was cut for discipline than fine..... This employer seems to have been solely looking out for his own best interest, I think the poster should do the same.

Yess..some Co. is asking you to pay for all there expenses Most especially if they recognise that you are more capability of work so that you cannot go home and they will not give NOC also so that you have no chance to apply to other Co.

All I can advice you is to ask your Parents or somebody from your country to send a fax that there is emergency in your home.

Ok..Good Luck

As far as I know, everytime his employees go out with him, he wants to pay him, I don't have a contract but I have a Job offer copy, It sai's that I will get 3000, but he gave me only 2000. I also tried to get emergency exit but he rejected it. from tha 2000 he will deduct to me 2 to 3 days salary cut, it is unfair anymore. How can I pay him if he already deducted it?. I want to go to the Labor but I don't know if they will give me some assistance. I already finished finger printing and medical but the contract still not given and pataka. What shall I do???? Pls. help

Thats unfortunate. Seems like the displinary actions have taken the tolls on you on top of you having to bear the cost of your initial employement. Talk to your employer for alternatives

yes termination and resignation are different, but when it come to overseas recruited candidate, the return ticket cost should be shoulderd by the employer.

The case differ when the breach of contract has take place.

Unless there is a breach of contract as per Article no. 61

Article no. 39& 49 doesn't make any sense for what i asked.

And as per Article No. 57, " Upon termination of the service of the worker the employer shall at his cost return him to the place from where he has recruited him at the commencement of the engagement or to any place agreed upon between the parties."

Termination and Resignation is different right? Correct Me if I'm wrong?

... I really don't read profiles anymore as people can just be what they want to be - they are just mere words which can be true or not. I just can't get my head around the lack of protection against 'abuse' (in my way of thinking, if both parties agree to conditions of employment, that agreement is to be honoured).

I am not deviating from any topic. I am expressing what I feel and it is totally related to this topic. While brionfield waits for the law to give him what he has been promised, what is he gonna live on? And how long does it take for his case to get sorted? And if it does - how is he gonna get on with his boss at work after he filed a case against him with the Labour Department? Just one of many questions that need to be considered.

Now, don't generalize. looking at the posters profile, He is in Sales. I don't think working in a sales field is a slavery. YOU are just deviating from the topic.

And if he move with the help of the law, I'm quite sure he will get what he deserve.

"The employer cannot charge you for anything, even the return ticket should be provided by the employer. "

Can YOU please cite the article no. ?

... is not a problem for ME. That's correct. When you look at some of the conditions MOST people work / live under in this country - doesn't it make you ever think that slavery has not been abolished and human rights / contractual agreements mean nothing at all?

By anonymous• 4 Nov 2009 14:48

As per the Labor law you can resign and go back to your country.

The employer cannot charge you for anything, even the return ticket should be provided by the employer. If they refuse than you can approach Labor Office.

If YOU can comment on what YOU like, why cant I ?? Why dont YOU mind your own business and sit there with that smile !

YOU are the one who questioned me first.. And now, you itself gave the answer for that .. Funny !!

I can comment what I like on whichever topic I like. This is a public forum - don't like it, don't come here to post. Whatever you loathe - not my problem and I do not want to know. If employers would pay what is in the contracts and less advantaged people not taken advantage of then this kind of topics wouldn't come up on PUBLIC forums.

I HOPE you concentrate on the subject of the topic next time instead of 'expressing your loathing' for somebody you don't even know!

Have a nice day :)

If FS have the freedom to advice what SHE wants, then i too have the freedom to oppose what ever i dont like. :-)

And ye, i loath somebody speaking for someone. Let her speak for herself. Hope you wont repeat this to me again. :-)

"My Question is, if I resign to the Company, do I have to pay him his expenses when he brought me here,"

If in your contract it mentions that you have to bare your immigration expenses, then you will have to.

"and also he gave a basic salary less for almost 1,000 QR a month as a part of trainee as he said, "

you have to get your full salary mentioned in your contract. Whether trainee or what ever.

"and also a salary cut of 2 to 3 days as part of disciplinary action."

Feeling pity for your company.

Better talk to your boss, give a resignation letter and yalla get out .. If they dint give you an exit permit, go , file a case in labor court mentioning all these and about you salary deduction as well.

Formatted Soul: Do you feel this as a good advice? :-)

... but if you have nothing on writing you are stuck here with this job. They paid for you to come out here and all the processing costs - they will want that back.

I am not a troll... FS is free to advise whatever he feels like - whether it's good or not it is up to the original poster to decide. Would I leave the way FS suggested if I wasn't happy? I sure would!!!

you cannot go home unless your employer give you an exit permit. Tell them you got some emergency back home and want to go immediately...then don’t come back...If you resign...did he ask you to pay back the expense incurred in bringing you here?
