What is the Sharīʿah's ruling on not disbursing an employee's dues (bonus) on the grounds that he resigned before they were disbursed?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your entitlement to the bonus depends on the employment contract and the agreed-upon terms. If it was a gift from the company, then the company has the right to retract it. However, if it was due as compensation for extra work or a commission, then the company is not allowed to withhold it, unless your resignation constituted a breach of contract. You can file a complaint with the responsible authorities to claim your right.
