My wife in my sponsorship (husband visa). Currently working in a company here in qatar, But she decided to resign. And her employee(owner of the company) doesn't want to allow her to resign, they say they will sue us and we will meet in the court? Is this possible? if ever my wife sign a contract to them and not yet finished, can they really sue her? If ever, anyone knows a lawyer to help us? thanks!

your wife is under your sponsorship so the company that your wife has been working with cannot do anything if she decides to quit. As husband sponsored, she should have a Work Permit ID issued from the Ministry of Labor. If she does not have the ID, then the legality of her working condition is questionable. The company is also liable for this.

I am also working under the sponsorship of my husband. I was the one who processed my working permit papers under the guidance of the company I am working with. Now, I have my Work Permit ID so anytime somebody comes from the Ministry of Labor, I have my ID to show to them.

There are to issues:

1st - There is no need to resign from the company as she is not an employee of the company.

2nd - She cannot ask for her final settlement legally from the company or go to the court for it.

yup, they cannot sue her. your company's wife will be in trouble because in the first place, they did not give her work permit.

note that they could fabricate a case against her. visit your embassy or labour department the soonest for proper legal opinion.

As per what I know from your post they are trying to threaten you. If they were able to get the work permit she can give one month notice and if they don't have a work permit work till the end of the month get the salary and stop working. They will sue you on what basis?

IT IS EVERYBODY'S RIGHT TO RESIGN if ever you are not satisfied with your work provided you give the required notice period....

RESIGNATION DO NOT NEED ANY APPROVAL FROM THE MANAGEMENT

WORK PERMIT IS BEING APPLIED BY THE COMPANY to whom your wife will be working. This cost 500QR for 1year and after all this procedures, Ministry of labor will issue work permit ID that your wife must be brought during work hours in the company as a basis that your wife is working LEGALLY in that company...

nayhr, in this case YOU can sue a company. They have no rights to allow your wife to work without the work permit. It is a COMAPNY's obligation to secure the Work permit for your wife. They are violating a law. And also are threatening you.

sristakdas is certainly CORRECT.. the company can NEVER EVER SUE YOUR WIFE.... hiring somebody on family visa without WORK PERMIT is illegal..this will cause penalty for the company..we have family visas working with us (husband visa) and I applied work permit for them because of the fear of its circumstances...

If ever your wife has work permit, SHE CAN STILL RESIGN by giving the company 1month notice...DON'T WORRY your company's wife will never win this game...

NO COMPANY CAN RESIST RESIGNATION OF THEIR STAFF..BUT IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF THE STAFF to give the company 1-3 months notice...

sristakdas, who should get the working permit? is this should be process by me or the company where she will work?

But her company ask for my NOC to allow my wife to work, they say they will process a work permit. But I don't know if done, since there is no copy yet given to my wife. I let my wife finished the 1 month notice to leave the company. Thanks!

they say they will issue, but after 1 year there is no permit copy up to now. I think they are not able to get a permit.

Dear....

Are you in same company?

If no,

Did you get approval for you wife to work in Qatar?

If you got approval, your wife can resign with 1 month notice. As per Qatar Labor Law, any of party (Employee or Employer) can terminate the employment contract with 1 Month Notice.

If you did not get approval from MOI for working, your wife is illegally working and the company also doing the same if hiring somebody without approval from MOI.

In this case company is not going to go to Court since they are also doing illegal practices.

So don't worry both cases your wife can resign.....
