Malachy is demanding a 3000 Riyal ''transfer fee'' for those going from QAC to the new outfit.

Is there also an Agent's fee?

[Mark Loyd]

No there is just the illegal 3500 (not 3000) fee that Malachy is charging to allow people to be able to transfer to the new Aussie outfit, which is offering lower salaries.

Employers who rip off their workers and operate illegally-terrible eh dmb?

I suspect that the transfer fee is a government charge that should be paid by your new employer.

They are refusing to pay it, and so you are being charged.

I would check out that possibility since it would give you an idea of what to expect from the new outfit.
