Is it permissible to deduct accommodation and medical insurance costs from the dues of a worker's leave if he did not return from his leave, and is he entitled to end-of-service benefits despite the absence of agreements in this regard in the contract?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The worker must return to his job and complete the agreed-upon contract period, unless there is a valid excuse preventing him from doing so. If the worker abstains from work during the period, he is entitled to the wage for the work he has done during that period, according to the majority of scholars, who say: "The hired person who dedicates himself for part of the period is entitled to the portion of the wage corresponding to that part." As for insurance, accommodation costs, and end-of-service benefits, these refer back to the contract terms or the prevailing custom in such jobs to determine their entitlement.
