Company Demanding 3 Months Salary For Early Release
I was hired from the Philippines and worked in a Company for about four years.
I went for emergency leave due to some family matters, during which I emailed the Company to inform them that I will not be able to return on the agreed date as my daughter got sick.
However, upon my return to Kuwait, I found out that the Company would terminate me and they rejected the documents I presented to prove I had a valid reason for not returning on time. #kuwaitnews #kuwaitlocal #q8local
