I found this on the general discussion forum and thought it very relevant for this forum as I work for an employer who breaks the local labour laws. Does anyone have a story about an (ex) employee taking an EFL employer to caught in Turkey?
''Having been in this efl rigmarole for quite a long time, I've come across loads of companies that give you contracts that break local labour laws.Now, it's often the case that you are simply taking a leap of faith when you sign any contract in the UK only to be sent elsewhere-ie, to an oil company in Libya.Here for example,the law states that expats must recieve an annual bonus in lieu of pension rights etc.It also states that you should be compensated if you stay longer than the contractual 65 days....when this doesn't happen, (we're just imagining of course), what do you do especially if the employer's got your passport?I've done runners before but has anyone out there taken their company to court and won financial compensation?It would be interesting to hear some stories'' |
