Hi everyone, I'm an expat employee here in Bahrain. This is my third month in this country and İm willing to leave and terminate my contract because of some personal reasons. İ have a signed contract with my employer which states that in case if I terminate the contract before completing my 2 years I need to pay damage fees. Can anyone please let me know what does it includes? And what would be the approximate amount? İs my one month salary will be enonugh ? İ appreciate your responses, thanks in advance
