Legal Advisor: The worker’s signature is not sufficient evidence of receipt of his entitlements

Legal Advisor Dr. Youssef Al-Sharif confirmed that the worker’s signature of receipt of his entitlements upon cancellation of residency is not sufficient evidence of receipt of his entitlements, and the employer must prove this.

The newspaper received an inquiry from a reader, in which she said that she was the owner of a salon, and she was working for a girl and her residency, but after a year and two months, she asked to cancel her residency and terminate the employment contract, due to her desire to move to another job. I agreed to her request and canceled her residency, after she had received it. Her dues.

She continued by saying that while I was on vacation outside the country, the worker asked for her salary, and since she was the one in charge and collecting the salon’s revenue, I asked her to take her salary from the cash available to her, and in fact this happened far from the money exchange or the bank, but she currently denies that she received the salary. She filed a lawsuit, demanding my salary for the last month in addition to the end-of-service bonus, knowing that she had agreed to receive her benefits before canceling her residency, also claiming that I was the one who terminated her service, and not at her request. The problem is that I have no proof that the worker took her salary in cash. She took the case to court, wondering what legal action she could take to prove her right.

For his part, the legal advisor, Dr. Youssef Al-Sharif, responds by saying that the worker’s signature of receipt of his entitlements upon cancellation of residency is not sufficient evidence of receipt of his entitlements, and the employer must prove that the worker has received all of his entitlements by all means of proof.

Regarding the current incident, he pointed out that the worker was responsible for financial matters, and therefore when she left work, those accounts were liquidated, which can be referred to to determine whether she received her dues, from those amounts that were in her hands or not, and as for the fact that she was the one who left work, the owner The work is entitled to notice pay, the value of which is deducted from the entitlements.
