It seems I got nerve to share my story when I read this thread because I am also one of the victim here. I worked as an office boy here even I got a decent job back home (as a high school teacher in a private school) because of insufficient income. I agree to the terms stipulated to the contract regarding monthly salary; and the placement fee (which is equivalent to one month salary be deducted 10% monthly) and processing fee of about $290 to be paid to the agency.
I think I was cheated because the agency gave me a new copy of a contract (given at the airport upon departure from Manila to Doha) together with the visa and ticket.
Now, it came the company has to deduct the placement fee. And I was surprised when the deduction exceeds of about Qr460 for the placement fee. And the grace period of deduction is just three months which contradicts to the agreement of the agency of just 10% monthly. I tried to complain to our HR but they just showed me the promisory note that I have signed stating that I have to pay $400. Then I argued that the agency doesn't tell me the way they do to me to pay the placement, since my salary is only Qr1000.
And I ask the refund of the money. The HR head just told me that they have nothing to do with this case they can't refund the money because it was being paid to the agency.
So, I said sucks to the greedy agency. I am really upset and disappointed of my situation. And the follwing day I requested a termination of my contract because I think a breach of contract is violated to my case. But the management hold my request and the HR with the factory manager have agreed to give an increase of my salary of about Qr200. And again, disappointments and mistrusts raged deep in my heart because the increase they promised to me three months ago doesn't take in effect until now.
I really wanted to stop now because I felt tired so much everyday since I am the only one cleaning the whole production area and offices and I think I have no reason to stay here but I cannot do this because I will shoulder the ticket to go home.
