if the company closes, do I have the right already to ask for my release? what are the benefits i can get?
I passed already to my employer 1 month ago my non-renewal of my visa and contract. and I asked for my release but they say they will give me. i only worked for them for 1 yr. then after they were forced to closed by the ministry of health. do i have the right now to get my NOC even though they said no before? and if they will cancel me do they need to give me my return flight home to my country or i will be the one to pay for it? and what are the benefits i can get. pls. help! thanks
Thanks! but no thanks to my employer they cancelled my visa and they send me home on the same day. Like they tell me I have my flight already at 3pm wherein the time is already 12NN.. imagine the nerve of those people? Heartless! well what to do at least i'm out of their leash..
at this stage with only 1 year employment in Qatar will not work to switch job as you will not be able to clear your CEID. You atleast need to work two years with your initial sponsor, no matter what reason.
Company should provide you your one way ticket.
you are also entitled to end of service graduity as per company policy.
Your best bet is to waive some of the benefits for a release letter; and of course carry on with a friendly face.
If a company ceases to operate, they are obliged to return their employees to the country where they were recruited from, and provide them with economy class ticket.
If you are working with them for 1 year or more, they are also obliged to pay your end of service gratuity. Computation shall be based on a minimum of three-week wage per year, and any fraction of days work thereafter shall be paid in proportion to that amount.
Sadly, the release of NOC is purely upon the discretion of the employer.
Hope this helps. (Source: http://www.qatarembassy.net/Qatar_Labour_Law.asp)
