Hi peeps! I'm an expat and i joined this blogspot to seek your advice. i have joined a company who required to "present" my passport. from what i understood in our interview was that they will only get the passport if the new employee becomes a regular employee. however that didn't happen and they got my passport. now i need the passport to renew insurance but the company won't take none of that because they are afraid that i am just using them for experience and will run away. now as per my job offer it is written that both parties can terminate the "contract" at will for any reason. now the company wont acknowledge that although it's plainly written in my job offer that they signed and stamped. and now they're also saying that i should pay them one month basic salary should i want to leave. now, i have been advised that i can just go and get another passport (claim it to be lost), but i am afraid that the employer will not do something good about my passport (example: going to police and telling them i stole from them or something).. pls help, i'm really worried... by the way, i have a dependent's visa.
