Sujan Guchhait v Meinhardt BIM Studios LLC

This case involved Unpaid salaries which were to be paid by the Defendant to the Claimant after breaching the QFC Employment Regulations, QFC Regulation No. 7/2020, and breaching contract.

Background

This was another claim against the Defendant, Meinhardt BIM Studios LLC by one of its former employees for arrear remuneration. The Claimant was employed by the Defendant from 22 December 2018 until the termination of his contract with effect from 7 March 2023. The Claimant argued that since the beginning of his employment, he had not been paid salaries monthly but frequently on a delayed basis. On 8 February 2023, he was given a month’s notice of termination of his employment, and informed that all outstanding dues would be paid accordingly. However, this did not happen. On 10 April 2023, he was paid QAR 2,333.33, leaving QAR 68,501.60 unpaid, without explanation. The Claimant claimed his outstanding salaries and annual air ticket and end of service benefits for working for 4.21 years for the Defendant. The Defendant did not serve any defence and had no answer to the claim.
