Good morning sir,,, I just want to ask,, if the...

The new Bahraini Labor Law issued in 2012 included some of its privileges domestic workers, as they are entitled to take an annual leave of 30 days at 2.5 days for each month and prevented the worker from the right to waive that, while allowing him not to take his leave and the employer has to compensate him / her.
The law also obligated the employer to sign an official contract with domestic workers, and to compensate him if he decided to leave work with a bonus or “a half-month wage for every year” he spent in his service.

Article 19
The labour contract shall be made in writing in the Arabic language in two copies; each party shall receive a copy. If drafted in a foreign language, a translated version shall be attached. If the contract includes references to by-laws, said by-laws shall be attached to the labour contract and signed by the parties and retained as evidence. In cased of inexistence of a written labour contract, the worker may solely prove all of his rights through all means of proof.

Article 40
a- Wages and other amounts due to the worker shall be paid in the Bahraini currency and an agreement may be concluded for their payment in a legal tender currency;
b- Wages shall be paid on one of the working days at the workplace, subject to the following:
1- Workers appointed with a monthly wage shall be paid at least once a month;
2- If the wage is paid per production and the work required a period exceeding two weeks, the worker shall receive each week an advance payment in accordance with the completed work, provided the remaining amount is paid during the week following the completion of the entrusted work;
3- The workers’ wages in cases other than those mentioned in the two previous paragraphs shall be paid once each week at most, unless otherwise agreed upon;
4- Upon termination of employment, a worker shall be immediately paid his wages and all of the amounts due to him. However, should he terminate his employment of his own accord, the employer is required in this event to pay the worker’s wage and all of his entitlements within a period not exceeding seven days as of the date on which the worker left his work.
c- Subject to the provision of the previous paragraph, if the employer shows delay in the disbursement of the worker’s wage, said employer shall pay to the worker an annual compensation equivalent to 6% of the wage in respect of which a delay was shown during six months or less as of the date of payment of the wage. This rate shall be subject to a 1% increase for each month of delay after said period without exceeding 12% of the wage per year.

Article 58
Subject to the provision of Article 60 of this Law, the worker who spent in the service of the employer at least one year shall be entitled to a paid annual leave not less than thirty days, with an average of two and a half day for each month. If the period spent in the service of the employer is less than one year, the worker shall be entitled to a leave corresponding to the period of his work.
The worker may not waive his right to the leave, and may receive monetary compensation in return for said leave in accordance with the provision of Article 59 paragraph b of this law.
