One of the most significant challenges facing workers and employees is an employer's refusal to fulfill their financial rights. This can include end-of-service benefits, monthly wages, or an employer's refusal to complete sponsorship transfer procedures without a clear legal justification. In such cases, the employee faces a critical question: Should they file a complaint directly with the Labor Office, or do they need to hire a lawyer specializing in labor cases?
we understand the importance of providing specialized legal support that ensures the employee takes the correct steps. To empower individuals to claim their rights without worrying about initial costs, we have adopted a clear professional policy: legal fees are only paid after a final court judgment concludes the dispute.
The expected timeframe for a final judgment in a labor case ranges from approximately three to six months. This period may vary depending on the nature of the lawsuit and whether it requires a two-stage process (Primary Court and Court of Appeals) due to an appeal by either party.
To ensure the effectiveness of the legal process, we recommend that the employee prepare the following documents before visiting a lawyer:
A copy of the employment contract. If unavailable, provide proof of the contractual relationship, such as a signed job offer, wage transfer receipts, or official correspondence between the employee and employer.
An official document showing the end date of the employment relationship, such as a wage certificate from the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) or a clear copy of the employment contract.
A statement showing the balance of annual leave taken and remaining.
If you suspect the termination was without a legitimate cause, it is important to provide documents that show the reason given by the employer for ending the employment relationship.
