Hello Friends,
I am working here in Riyadh Saudi for last 14 months and I have a contract for 4 years with my company and I got recruited to work in software development and after joining the company the company purchased a new software/technology and informed us we'll provide one month of training and you need to work on this and they didn't give the full training hardly 5 days training they gave in this new technology which even I didn't know before coming here , and the company told me to learn and do it and they hold my half month salary initially for not delivering the work and I told them I don't know this technology and I'm not ready to work I'm resigning from my job .
They told no we can't accept your resignation you've to work anyhow as you've signed the contract I told them that it'll take time for developing these applications as I need to learn and develop they told OK you take your time and develop whatever possible .
OK . Last six months I learnt and developed few applications and delivered which they accepted and using it . After they gave one complex application to develop which I took 2 months to develop as I don't have expertise in that technology and for this they given me penalty of 3000 SAR my half month salary .
I told them as you know I don't have any prior experience in this technology and I'm learning and doing it and this is a complex requirement I can't finish it , and they told if you don't know resign your job and leave .
I asked them for my penalty amount to get returned that is the 3000 SAR they didn't give and I resigned they accepted it and they stopped me immediately from work without giving any notice period .
And told me we'll process your final exit and you need to pay the expenses for your visa iqama and insurance something around 5000 SAR , I told them OK but I need my final exit faster anyhow .
And they didn't pay my salary last month they paid only 50 SAR as salary last month and I'm sitting in room for last 16 days.
And now they're saying we can't give final exit you need to complete the work then we'll give the final exit .
Officially they've stopped me from job and no salary is calculated for me and after accepting my resignation they're not giving me my final exit and asking me to work .
I don't know how to handle this situation , I need to go on exit anyhow as I don't want to work here anymore as I don't know the technology they're asking me to work and I came here for different technology .
And I'm planning to approach my embassy to get involved in this and get me the exit .
I'm from Tamilnadu , India
Your suggestions and helps to get me out of this quickly will be great and thankful.
