The issue of getting a ban for six months is detrimental to the rights of employees, especially when employers do not pay the salary on time (for months and sometimes years). The law permits a sponsor to enforce a six-month ban on grounds that this protects the sponsor's business. Since the business of buying and selling visas continues unabated in certain industries like the construction sector, it would be wise to permit the worker to pay for the cost of the employment visa legally.
In this case, the provision of a compulsory ban should be waived if a worker has not received his salary for any two months during the tenure of the employment visa. This will take care of the sponsor's plea that they cannot bear the cost of a worker's employment visa (Construction Industry) and also protect the worker by giving him the rights to seek a transfer when he is not paid on time. The grey area of buying and selling employment visas can then be put to a permanent stop since this will convert the black market funds into legal provisions that protect the workers who have to pay anyway.

Thanks, Mr. Kamal M Mehta. I am in Dubai for a couple of months. They have no finance there, and after that, the production manager badly treated all employees. There is no chance to improve. As an Assistant Manager HR, I have to do something about the environment. Please suggest. Thank you.
