    Urgent assistance needed

    posted by  neale lonsdale in Bahrain forum 

    . I resigned from an employer after working for him for 2 . 5 months. I was already a local hire by that time.
    I was advised by the company I wished to join, that I will need to resign within the 3 months (probation period) if I resigned one day after 3months, I would need to remain with his company for 1 year. So I did what was advised, and I resigned with 2 weeks notice, and resigned through registered mail 7 days before my probation would be completed. My employer did not release me, and as I had a company waiting for me to start work, I left my old employers accommodation he had provided (this was 2 weeks after he kicked me out of his company) ! month later he went to the police and made a case stating I had run away, even though I had proof I had legally resigned, then he made another case accusing me of theft of a book, without proof, later that day I heard through an ex colleague whom is employed at his company, that he had found the book, but did not want to drop the case, and under no circumstance was I to be told that the missing book had been found.

    I wish to legally transfer to another company as I have been out of work now for more than 2 months. I have been to the labour courts, and was told I need to file a case against him (ex employer) for not releasing me. I was also told that with such a case, I could get a jail term and be deported.

    I request advice on who to speak to and in which department, and especially which area of Bahrain. As I have honestly spent a lot of money on taxi fair to get to a place where I cannot be helped.
