I have been working in Bahrain for three years now when I came I signed a company contract then after a month later the boss transferred me to onother company but I din't sign the new company contract till now my visa was renewed again without  contract of current company nboss doesn't bother to
Kindly Help what are the negatives and positives of this m confused

It really depends on which company your visa is on.  It seems that you have been physically transferred but the visa is still on the old company.  The issue with that is you should not be working for an employer without being on their visa.  If LMRA inspection happens at your workplace, you will be in trouble.

All My details reads in the current company but the problem is that I din't sign any contract with it
hard copy like I don't have anything to show am working with them incase of anything

I think as long as both the CR's belong to the same owner, it shouldn't be a problem with the LMRA or anyone.
I may be wrong on this, but this what was told to me by a bank manager during loan approval.

About this, am not very sure. But to be on a safe side you may approach the HR or Your company owner through email requesting for the same. Am not sure what are the possible next steps you can take if they dont give you one even after the formal request.

About the proof of working for that company, take a printout of the CPR data. Even though u don't have a contract, you might have the CPR updated mentioning you as their employee.  Which should be good.

XTang

Not really, that is incorrect.  For bank loans, yes it is not a problem. But for visa, each CR is a separate legal entity irrespective of ownership structure.  The only time it isn't an issue IF all those CRs are at the same address - which is allowed in some cases.

I will say again, if the visa matches your current sponsor, then that is your proof.  You are still protected in case of any dispute even if you don't have a contract.

My colleague has worked here for the past 7 years  earning only the working monthly salary
Is there anything to expect form the company as a benefit legally like service charges

XTang

You can't get anything beyond what was contractually agreed. If you resign, you can get end of service benefits as per labor law

veeraj.john

every full time employee of a company is entitled to indemnity.
Refer to below link to calculate the indemnity he/she will gel when leaving the organization.

https://www.kvcodes.com/2018/03/bahrain … lculation/

Note: Indemnity is calculated on the last paid basic Salary

Apart from this, the employee can encash his annual leaves (if he/she has not utilized them).

Other benefits whatsoever depends on the company policies or if mentioned in the contract.

Being that there is no househelp visas now in Bahrain what can someone who has got a househelp job do inorder to avoid  future commotion with the employer and the law??

XTang

Don't understand what you mean.  People have been getting domestic help visas through transfers or new visas in my social circle.
