My company in Bahrain let me go in December 2015, promising three months’ salary. They agreed to pay in four installments but only gave one in March 2016. Now, the owner has disappeared, leaving us with unpaid dues. Around 15 of us are in this situation, all working from India. We know the owner’s home address here. What legal options do we have to get our money back?

You can file a civil suit in India against the company owner, seeking recovery of your unpaid dues. You can serve the lawsuit at his Indian home address. Since this involves multiple employees, you can consider filing a collective suit for quicker resolution.
