Is the remaining amount from the annual treatment ceiling ($2000) considered a right for the employee if not fully utilized, and must the company disburse it to him?
The answer to the question involves two issues: The first relates to the ruling on including treatment costs within the employee's agreed-upon salary in the employment contract, which was previously clarified in no. 49667. The second: If the costs of treating the employee and his family are a donation or a perk from the company and not part of the employment contract, and there are conditions attached to it, then these conditions must be adhered to, based on the general : "Muslims are bound by their conditions." So, if the company stipulated that the amount should be spent according to the actual need for treatment, then the employee is only entitled to what he needs.
