pilotusa,
Satay doesn't QUITE have his facts right on that incident, but the truth is still something that should cause people to know what they are getting into.
This incident involved a Pilot who was employing a maid who had had her Visa cancelled. In all good faith he had, he believed, gone through the right channels to ensure he was employing her legally.
He was technically in breach of the law as someone else hadn't put the appropriate paperwork through and was indeed arrested at work.
He did spend several uncomfortable hours in custody but was subsequently able to sort it out.
Yes, things like that happen here, and should be comsidered before coming.
The only other inaccuracy in his post is that the Salary increment hasn't formed part of the promised T&Cs for several years, and has been awarded as a usual practice, rather than a right.
The only clear breach of the contract has been the cap on DEWA but, as far as I know, noone has actually been told they are being charged for excess yet.
But yes, you are only entitled to what is in black and white and yes, other parts of the T7Cs can and have changed for the worse.
