The contract between the questioner and the company is void due to the presence of (excessive uncertainty) and jahalah (ignorance) regarding the wages, which led to dispute and contention. This is because the worker combined a known wage with an unknown one, and he does not know how much his wages amount to. Therefore, the contract must be immediately annulled, and the employee is entitled to ajr al-mithl (a reasonable wage for similar work). If he does not obtain his right from the company, he is permitted to take it without transgression, if that is possible for him.
