How many days does labor department process my complain about my expired iqama?
I filed a complaint on labour department in industrial area. I've been working in my company since sept 2008 but since last year I already informed and give my resignation to my boss of my intentions on leaving and not signing another contract. My iqama expired since Dec 1 2011. I wait till my replacement come last Feb and teach him all. We agreed before that he will allow me to go home on May 18 but the problem is they are still not giving me ticket with all the benefits going back home. I tried to talk to him but he still wants me to work but I refused due to several reasons. My family badly needs me now. He was harassing and threatening me that I need to pay the car engine cost ( QR12,000) for the service that I am using. It was not my fault for the engine breakdown and it happened last June 2011.
They don’t inform me about this that I will pay for it. I thought it was cleared already because I informed them of the reasons why it happened. If this is so, I will get nothing for my benefits because my salary is not enough to pay it .That’s why I seek help to labour last Thursday. They have my passport and I stop work now. Will I get my benefits and go home for how many days?
