Bahrain Labour Court awards BD13,634 to former employee

The First High Labour Court in Bahrain ordered a company to pay a former employee BD13,634, covering unpaid wages, end-of-service gratuity, and leave in lieu. The court also mandated a return ticket and a service certificate, applying stepped interest of up to 12% on delayed payments. The claimant had worked in Bahrain under a permit first issued on March 13, 2008, and resigned on March 26, 2024, with a basic wage of BD686. The court confirmed that wages from December 2023 to March 26, 2024, were outstanding due to lack of proof of payment. End-of-service gratuity was calculated for nearly 16 years of service.
