Hiring, Renting, and Lease: Ruling on Claiming Unfulfilled Employment Benefits Without Written Contract

English:

Question #1639:

On starting work for a company, its official undertook to pay me salary plus the usual allowances for accommodation, holidays, and insurance contributions. Despite the fact that many years have passed, the company has not honored its undertaking. Since I do not have a written contract with the company, am I justified in demanding my rights by starting legal proceedings against the company?

Answer #1639:

It is permissible for you to have recourse to the law to restore your rights.
