After 1 year u can change job without the consent of employer.  Just send resignation through registered post with pink card.  Hand over the card to new employer he will submit it with other documents when applying for ur visa transfer

Missnoone

Y pink card

Ammad Javed

Pink card u will fill n give which will be posted back to ur address after delivery the notice to employer.  U can use it as proof that u sent notice on this date

If you dont want to exit Bahrain, you can search for a new job first, once you find a new job out ask your old employer to release you (apply for mobility) and move to the new one.



Good luck

Good morning.. i worked 2 years my last company when my visa finised in 6jan. i take local transfer but  stil they not given my salary so what i should be do..in that company my basic salary 90BD there my all annual leaves pending. So pls. Can u suggests me how much my Totel money in that company..

Your end of service should include unpaid salary, unpaid leave salary and indemnity as per the labor law.  Approach the Ministry of labor and file a complaint to get your rights as per the labor law.

Hi sir i want to know from you that if anyone wants to switch to another company after 1 month is it possible to do so ?

More details needed.  Are you on probation in current job?

susheel kumaar

Yes sir, there is six months probation period.

XTang

You can resign.  Just make sure from your contract that you don't have any clauses that require you to pay anything to the employer.   Agree on the visa transfer with them or ask them to cancel - whichever works for you.  Do everything in writing and get acknowledgement of the same.

susheel kumaar

There was a clause something like that in emergency if you want to go home before 1 year then will have to pay 500BD .so now main concern is that if I resign then can they terminate me ? or can black list me from the country or what can happen against me if they don't agree.

XTang

They can potentially get the 500 BD. They can't blacklist you if you document your resignation and have proof. Better consult ministry of labour before resigning.

XTang

Not clear what you are asking.

If you have resigned and they accepted, what is the problem?

XTang

What does your contract say about resignation within one year? Ie does it say you have to pay them?

XTang

Then you don't.  Involve Ministry of labour and LMRA if there are any problems.

I do not have an employment agreement with my current employer and have completed 1 year of service and have resigned from my current job. I have asked my employer to do my final settlement recently.My employer comes  up with a rule wherein i need to pay back 1 year of my visa fee.Is it mandatory??? There is no agreement and they are harassing me.

Soulsurfer_chef

Sorry there is no agreement with my current employer only an offer letter

XTang

You don't have to pay them anything. But you would need to file a complaint at the ministry of labor to resolve this.

Soulsurfer_chef

Thanks....actually this is my maiden assignment with an highly unprofessional company

Soulsurfer_chef

So basically i need to take my final settlement to the lmra and file a complaint against the company

XTang

Read what I wrote. This is ministry of labour matter not lmra.

Hello Sir,

Just need some advice on what are the consequences in case I go out in Bahrain without proper resignation on my company and transfer in other GCC countries for a new job.
My contract states that I need to render 3 months provision for resignation. But the opportunity waiting on me in other country needs me within a month only.
So I plan not to resign, and leave the country directly.
Hoping that you could provide a piece of advice regarding on this matter.

Thank you and looking forward for your continues support.

XTang

Your employer can mark you as absconding which will lead to a  labor ban.  You will have difficulty getting visas or working in Bahrain again in the medium term.

Secondly, the GCC countries already share criminal ban data i.e. if someone has a criminal record in one GCC country, they would not get a visa in another.  They have reached agreement for doing the SAME for labor bans - it has not been implemented yet.  But when it is (and no way of knowing exactly when), you could end up facing problems in all of GCC.

Hi everyone, please help me. I working here in bahrain for almost 1 and half year now. I wanted to resign and just go home to philippines due to verbal abuse and emotional abuse im getting from my boss. But i dont know how to do it without causing any problem. Specially paying huge amount. Same as what he did from previous employee who resigned also. Please kindly help and enlighten me. Thank you

XTang

We have discussed this topic many times on this forum.  You need to send resignation via registered mail and retain pink slip.  In case of any issue from your boss, immediately file a complaint with the Ministry of Labour.

Freyah88

What if he ask for huge payment.

XTang

Read what I wrote.  File a complaint with Ministry of labor then.  As per labor law, you don't have to pay him anything.
