Hey everybody !

I came to BH in July 2019 by contract for a one year. So via contract they have to provide accommodation, health insurance and transportation. So it turned out that after one month of my work, they started to deduct from my salary for electricity bill( NOT ONE TIME, it was continually) , starting from 25-50 bd each month. For February months they deducted from me 100 bd, the reason -because of my colleges. So was out of that accident. But they did. So far was coming THIS VIRUS, i am stuck at home for 1,5 months, no news from sponsors. My qs is- should they provide us at least half of the salary? 2nd qs- do i have to complain to the MOL for previous deductions( is it legally to cut the salaries)?
P.S I wanna continue my career in Bh in future Inshalla, if i make a complaint my sponsors can make me problems with that? Thanks

You will have to complain to MOL to get your rights. And yes, they may not like that. But at the end of the day, it is your right.
