In Sendan International Company Limited of Saudi Arabia, 469 Nepalis who have been without salary for 8 months have been claimed to get their salary and return ticket through insurance.
The Nepali Embassy in Riyadh has advanced the process of getting the withheld salary and return ticket to the Saudi Ministry of Labor through insurance. The company has been completely closed since December 24.
"Companies in crisis and in case of non-payment of regular salary for 6 months, the matter that can be claimed through insurance is mentioned in the guidelines of the Saudi government. Based on that, we have claimed the withheld salary and tickets,' Labor Counselor Kaviraj Upreti told Kantipur, 'For this, we are in regular contact with the crisis department of the Ministry of Labor from the embassy.'
The embassy has filed a case on behalf of the workers at the labor office to claim the
insurance. "In order to claim insurance, proof of non-payment of salary is required when there is a friendly discussion between the company and the workers at the labor office. The company is not able to provide salary and ticket . A representative of the Jawajat (immigration) office here has gone to the camp to understand the situation of the workers,' he said. 69 people are waiting to go to Nepal with salary. They haven't even got a job because the company has collapsed. According to the embassy, 302 out of the unemployed want to return to Nepal, while the rest are in the process of changing their company and getting employed in another company in Saudi Arabia.
"We have sent details to the Ministry of Labor of Saudi Arabia to issue exit permits to three hundred and two people who want to return to their homeland," he said. "When everyone's exit paper comes, the way to go home will be opened". At that time, we are taking the initiative to get salary through insurance,' he said, 'We are positive about this.'
There are Nepali workers who have worked at Sendan International Company in Jewel, the eastern region of Saudi Arabia, for two to 16 years. The company is giving them dal and rice in the morning and evening. All of them have expired residence visas. It has been 7 to 9 months since their residence visa expired.
"The exit permit will have to be issued after waiving the fine," Upreti said, "a letter has been sent to the Saudi government to waive the fine."
