Question: It has been more than a year and I have still not received my commission from my company. Do I have the right, according to labour laws, to claim this commission after a year has passed? The employer stated that I cannot claim this anymore. Also, how is the end of service allowance calculated for me, and do I have the right to claim annual leave allowance for a period of two years?
Answer: In general, you cannot claim any labour rights that are more than a year old, while all rights that are less than a year are due to you, including any commission which is less than a year in pending.
Your end of service rights includes the annual leave salary shall be calculated on the same method of ‘Calculating the Wages of Workers on Piecework Basis’.
