Hi all,
Hope someone might know something about "unpaid leave" when working in bahrain.
My employer has threatened a couple of times in the past not paying people their salary calling it "unpaid leave" but never done it. This month however a number of people were told they would not be payed and must continue to work, while others have been told to stay home for the month and take "unpaid leave"....
I have searched in the labour law of bahrain and it doesn't really cover unpaid leave, apart from when you have used all your annual leave and/or sick leave and/or for an emergency.
My question is can companies legally do this??
Would appreciate any information you may have on this.
Thx M
