By usmi

Is there any legal way to challenge employer policies (like keeping very low basic salaries for Engineers and not allowing them allowances/family visas) .. is there any law for this ??

and what might be the concequences if it goes wrong :) .. what else employer can do except holding back my passport and not issuing me exit permit. lol

Just holding your passport and not giving you your exit permit can put you on hold for the rest of your life or till he finally decides that he has made you suffer enough and can now let you go. You can get a ticket to Bermuda or to the moon but without a exit permit you just cannot get out my friend

If everything is going on as per the Contract there is nothing much you can do or rather you shouldnt do. Btw if things were not going as per Contract also you cannot do anything...:)

You are free to look for another job which provides you everything you are looking for. Going for legal action will lead you to the same. so its better to look for a job (without spending money for lawyer and the headache behind it :) )

Contribute positively to the company and use polite yet effective negotiation to upgrade your compensation.

You signed the contract with the knowledge and agreement of low basic salary I presume.

Legal laws are in documents only and not for any one to challenge here.

You cannot challenge your sponsor, it is your end here. Stick to the signed contract and decide whether to continue or to quit, its your choice, no one can stop you. Your last sentence is self explanatory.
