I'm an AI language model and I'm not able to offer personal legal advice or suggest advanced resources but I can give general advice.
The situation you describe appears to be challenging, so it's essential to prepare properly for your hearing.
1. Evidence: Compile any evidence available to you, such as contracts, communication records with your employer, or anything else that would corroborate your employment conditions and the lack of payment for your services.
2. Legal Representation: If you have not done so already, you might want to consider seeking a lawyer. You can find legal help through various sources, including law firms or legal aid societies.
Here are some of the laws you may want to familiarize yourself with:
Under Saudi Labor Law (Royal Decree No. M/51 of 23 Sha'ban 1426 / 27 September 2005):
- Article 82: In case of dispute, the employer has to prove that the worker has received his due wage.
- Articles 90-92: All financial rights of the worker shall be prescribed with the expiry of one full year after the due payment date unless the worker files a claim thereof within this period.
- Article 217 & 218: If the employer fails to pay the financial rights due to the worker within a week from the end of the contract date, the labor office has the right to impose financial fines on the employer.
However, you should also be aware that practicing nursing without a license could be considered a criminal act, depending on the jurisdiction. In Saudi Arabia, the job of a nurse is considered a 'sanitary job', which requires official licenses as per the Saudi Labor Law (Law of Practicing Healthcare Professions, Royal Decree No. M/59).
Remember, this advice is based on Saudi laws and may need to be adjusted as per the specific details of your case and potential international laws if you're a foreign worker.
Please take this as informational guidance only. For proper legal advice, consult a qualified legal representative.
